How to Deposit TON on Kraken in 5 Minutes (Minimum, Memo, Fees)

If you earn Telegram Stars, you already hold the asset Kraken needs. Fragment pays creator withdrawals in TON, and sending that TON to Kraken costs nothing on Kraken's side — no deposit fee, no card surcharge, no bank transfer to wait for.

It also counts toward Kraken's new-user bonus. The offer pays $10 in Bitcoin after a $100 deposit by bank transfer or crypto plus $100 of trading — and card deposits do not qualify. For someone holding TON, the crypto route is the one that works without a card or a bank account abroad.

Kraken's own deposit table lists the coin as Gram with a 1 TON minimum and no fees. The minimum applies after network fees: if you send exactly 1 TON and the network takes a fraction, what arrives is below the minimum — and Kraken marks deposits below the minimum as failed, with the funds permanently lost. Send a little more than 1 TON.

Kraken needs one confirmation on The Open Network and calls the processing time near-instant, so a deposit sent from Tonkeeper usually appears within a minute. If it hasn't arrived after a few minutes, check the transaction in your wallet's history before sending anything again.

Choose The Open Network on the deposit screen. Kraken's guide to crypto deposits lists the coins that need extra information — XRP needs a destination tag, XLM, STX and EOS need a memo — and TON is not among them, so the address alone is enough. Still read the warnings on the deposit page itself: Kraken says each currency's page has the final word.

Send only TON to the TON address. Tokens that live on the TON network — USDT on TON, Notcoin, DOGS, Hamster Kombat — are separate assets on Kraken with their own deposit addresses. And copy the address fresh from Kraken each time: deposit addresses can expire, and Kraken credits a valid transaction sent to an expired address only minus a fee.

The Kraken app is the simplest way to sell: tap Sell, pick TON and the amount, and confirm. Kraken charges a 1% fee on instant trades, and the price includes a spread that varies with market conditions. That is fine for a first, small sale.

Kraken Pro, the trading screen on the same account, is cheaper: at the entry tier a limit order costs 0.40% and a market order 0.80%, and both fall as your 30-day volume grows. Use the TON/USD or TON/EUR market to get straight to cash, or TON/USDT to hold a stablecoin.

After selling, go to Funding → Withdraw and pick a cash method for your currency — ACH for USD, SEPA for EUR. Kraken shows the fee and the expected timing for each method before you confirm.

Kraken places a temporary 72-hour withdrawal hold on money funded by ACH, PayPal, card or digital-wallet purchases. A TON deposit is not one of those funding methods.

Sign up through the Kraken button on this page or enter the referral code starsearn when you create the account. Then deposit at least $100 by bank transfer or crypto — a TON deposit worth $100 or more counts — and trade $100 in total. Kraken pays $10 in Bitcoin to you, and it can arrive some time after you meet the conditions, once Kraken has verified them.

Card deposits do not count toward the bonus, and the offer is not available in every country — in the UK and Singapore the buttons on this page point elsewhere for that reason.
