RedotPay Integrates with TON Blockchain
RedotPay Integrates with TON Blockchain to Accelerate Crypto Payments
Why TON?
- Low fees for frequent moves — Ideal for topping up, swapping, and small payments.
- Speed at scale — High throughput helps during busy hours and payout runs.
- Telegram synergy — TON is tightly connected to the Telegram user base, enabling smoother onboarding for new payers.
- Stablecoin friendliness — Practical rails for stablecoin transfers used in daily spending.
What This Unlocks in RedotPay
1) Faster Card Top-Ups
Move funds on TON, then swap or load to your spend balance with fewer hops.
2) Cheaper P2P On-/Off-Ramps
Post buy/sell offers that settle on TON to minimize network costs and tighten spreads.
3) Quicker Merchant Payments
For gateways that accept TON rails, you can push payments with near-instant finality and clearer quotes.
4) Smoother Cross-Border Payouts
Batch disbursements to contractors/creators in supported corridors with predictable fees and fast receipt.
Getting Started
- Update the app and check that TON is enabled for your account.
- Add a TON address (or connect a compatible wallet).
- Fund with TON or supported stablecoins on TON. Start small to test settlement.
- Swap (if needed) into your spend currency before card usage.
- Transact: top up card, pay merchants, or move funds via P2P—then monitor confirmations and alerts.
Pro tip: Keep a tiny amount of native TON for network fees so your transactions never stall.
Fees & Performance
- Network fee: Very low per transfer (varies with load).
- Gateway/spread: Still applies when swapping or cashing out.
- FX: Applies if you convert to another spend currency.
- Total cost of ownership: For frequent movers, TON often beats higher-fee chains—especially for micro-payouts and test transactions.
Practical Use Cases
- Daily Spend Buffer: Receive funds on TON, swap to stablecoin, and keep a small card-ready balance.
- Micro-payouts: Reward creators/affiliates with small, frequent transfers without fee bloat.
- Refunds/Partials: Lower network costs make partial refunds less painful to execute.
- P2P Arbitrage: Tighter quotes when both sides prefer TON rails.
Risk & Safety Notes
- Address hygiene: Double-check TON addresses; on-chain sends are final.
- Spam/scams: Verify handles/QRs inside the official app; avoid off-platform chats for P2P.
- Backup & recovery: Secure seed/recovery credentials for any external TON wallet you connect.
- Regional rules: On/off-ramp availability varies; confirm supported corridors before large transfers.
FAQs
Do I need to hold TON to use it?
You’ll need a small amount of TON for network fees. For spending, you can still keep most value in stablecoins on TON.
Can I use TON for card top-ups?
Yes—when enabled in your account. Fund on TON, then swap or load to your card spend balance.
Is TON supported in P2P?
Where available, yes. Filter offers by network and settle directly on TON.
What about fees compared to other chains?
TON is generally low-fee. Your total cost also includes any swap spread, gateway charges, and FX if you convert.
Will this change my limits?
Card and payout limits are tied to your tier/BIN and compliance profile, not the chain itself.
