Hoton Docs

Getting started

Hoton lives in two places — use whichever you like:

  • The Mini App — open hoton.tg or tap Open Mini App in the bot.
  • The @hoton bot — buy right inside the chat at t.me/hoton.

Both use the same wallet and prices.

1. Connect a TON wallet

Section titled “1. Connect a TON wallet”

Hoton is non-custodial — you pay directly from your own wallet, and we never hold your funds. Any TON Connect wallet works:

  • Tonkeeper
  • @Wallet (inside Telegram)
  • MyTonWallet
  • Gram Wallet

Tap Connect, pick your wallet, and approve the connection. That’s it — nothing is charged until you confirm a purchase.

2. Make a purchase

Section titled “2. Make a purchase”
  1. Choose a product — Stars, Premium, or Top up GRAM.
  2. Pick the amount (and recipient, if it’s a gift).
  3. Review the total and confirm — your wallet opens to sign the payment.

You can send to yourself or to any @username, and even to multiple people at once.

3. Turn on Auction Alerts (optional)

Section titled “3. Turn on Auction Alerts (optional)”

If you bid on Telegram username auctions, Hoton can watch them for you and ping you the instant you’re outbid — so you never lose a name to a missed notification. See the Auction Alerts guide »
