Non-custodial wallets​

Non-custodial wallets empower users with full ownership and control over their private keys and funds. Unlike custodial wallets, which a third party manages, non-custodial wallets store private keys exclusively with the user, secured using a seed phrase—a unique sequence of 12 or 24 words.

Software (hot) wallets​

A software wallet—commonly referred to as a hot wallet—runs locally on a device such as a smartphone or computer, storing private keys securely within the device’s storage.

Below is a selection of prominent non-custodial software wallets.

warning

TONDevWallet is for development and testing only. Do NOT use it to store real funds — it is insecure and does NOT provide adequate protection.

Hardware (cold) wallets​

Hardware wallets are physical devices that store private keys offline, isolating them from internet risks. Even when authorizing transactions, these devices sign them in a secure, offline environment, ensuring private keys never leave the device.

Custodial wallets​

In custodial wallets, a third party—such as a cryptocurrency exchange—holds and manages users’ private keys. This means users entrust the entity with the storage and control of their assets.
