What is TON Wallet? How to use a TON Wallet

What is TON Wallet?

The TON wallet is where TON and TON721 standard tokens are stored on the TON blockchain. You can send and receive TON tokens as well as interact with applications on the TON platform.

In particular, this wallet is owned by you, so no one has the right to influence or use the wallet other than you.

What is included in a TON Wallet address?

A TON Wallet has 2 extremely important pieces of information you must take note:

• Wallet address: A sequence of numbers and characters used to send assets to the TON wallet. Others can transfer coins to you through the wallet address you provide. A TON wallet address will have the following format: EQC9pbhSTfnA6d3nuJReYXFSOLHGcHaiPRtBtwJBoJlUv3r
• Passphrase: A security key that can be understood as a password consisting of any 12 English keywords. If you want to perform the wallet recovery operation, you must go through the Passphrase login step. Format of a Passphrase: diamond much flame kitchen rubber potato poor piece strong dynamic machine old.

To visualize, you can imagine that the TON wallet is a bank account, the wallet address is the account number and the passphrase is the password.

The difference here is that with a bank account, other people will know your personal information. As for the TON wallet, the user becomes anonymous, no one knows who owns the wallet, and transactions only occur through the address encoded into a sequence of numbers and characters.
