A New Era for Blockchain Transactions
According to TON’s blog, under the new W5 smart wallet standard, TON users are no longer required to hold the native Ton coin to facilitate transactions. This development allows users to conduct transactions using USDT for transfers in the same currency or Notcoin for other transfers, such as payment for gas fees.

The W5 wallet supports the execution of up to 255 transactions simultaneously. This feature significantly broadens the scope of blockchain activities users can engage in simultaneously. This could include sending multiple NFTs to different recipients or managing several decentralized subscriptions seamlessly.
Oleg Andreev, CEO of Tonkeeper, shared his enthusiasm about the advancement: “The W5 Smart Wallet has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible on TON blockchain. Partnering with TON Core guarantees users exceptional security, efficiency, and ease of use.”
Expanding Blockchain Accessibility
The launch of the W5 smart wallet is particularly noteworthy as it seeks to lower barriers to entry for new users. In addition, this will integrate more closely with Telegram’s extensive user base of 950 million. This integration is expected to further TON’s goal of mainstream blockchain adoption.
Anatoliy Makosov, TON Core Technical Lead, highlighted the broader implications of the wallet’s features: “The Smart Wallet will bring two-factor authorization, password recovery, and gasless fees, paid in USDT, making getting started on TON easy for anyone.”
The W5 smart wallet standard is already live on Tonkeeper. Other TON-affiliated wallets like TON Space and MyTonWallet will soon offer it. Consequently, this will enhance the overall user experience across the blockchain network. This initiative by the TON blockchain is timely, as the platform recently reported a significant increase in activity, with 5.8 million monthly active on-chain wallets. Introducing gasless transactions and seamless integration with popular Telegram mini-games using the TON blockchain will further boost daily active addresses.
