The Battery

What is the Battery, and what is it used for?

The Battery feature in Tonkeeper lets you make transactions even if your TON balance is zero. Typically, every transaction on the TON blockchain needs a small fee in Toncoin (TON). But with Battery, you can pay this fee even if you don't have any TON, or if buying it isn't possible at the moment. You can send or swap tokens (like USDT) without needing TON. This makes using your wallet easier, especially when you need it most.

How does the Battery work?

The way the Battery works can be described as follows: when you sign a transaction, we estimate its cost, and then we deduct charges from your Battery account to cover the network fee. Thus, you may need about 50 charges to swap tokens (~120 charges to swap HMSTR), about 10 charges to transfer tokens (~30 charges to transfer HMSTR), and around 4 charges to transfer NFTs.

What transactions can you use the Battery for?

The Battery can be used for the following operations:

  • Token-to-token swaps (e.g., DOGS to HMSTR) or token-to-TON swaps (e.g., DOGS to TON).
  • Token transfers (e.g., sending USDT to an exchange).
  • NFT transfers.

📌 The Battery does not apply to Toncoin (TON) transfers; it only covers token transfers and swaps. :)

How to charge the Battery?

You can buy Battery charges in a few ways:

  1. Using tokens or TON:
