TON Has Entered the Chat (Literally): Now Live on Collab.Land
If you have been watching the TON ecosystem light up inside Telegram, you already knew this moment was coming. Now it is here.
TON is officially live on Collab.Land with support for native TON coins, Jettons, and TON NFT stickers. One of the fastest growing messenger native blockchains is now available to every community using Collab.Land. Since May 2020, we have shown up consistently for tokenized communities with safety, reliability, and long term dedication.
And before this integration was available to the public, we built and tested it with one of the most iconic communities in Web3. We worked closely with the Bored Ape Yacht Club team to ensure TON stickers could be used as a membership access token inside Telegram, with matching verification available for Discord roles. Their needs shaped the quality and reliability of this launch from the start. We have supported the BAYC Discord server since the beginning, and we are Bored Ape holders ourselves, so we approached this work with real care and a clear understanding of what top tier communities expect.
Because of that collaboration, the entire TON ecosystem now benefits from an integration that is already proven inside a major community.
And since we are the creators of token gating, TON communities get the most trusted infrastructure in the space. We meet communities where they already are and we have been doing that since Day One.
Now that includes TON.
Why TON and Collab.Land Fit Together Right Now
Telegram has hundreds of millions of people.
TON brings the chain.
Collab.Land brings the community infrastructure.
Together, they create a new era of token powered access.
TON is making NFTs part of how people actually communicate, not just something to trade. And Collab.Land turns those assets into real community value. Communities can use TON NFTs, Jettons, and TON coin to unlock Telegram access levels and Discord roles with verified onchain ownership.
Our collaboration with BAYC was central to this launch. Their TON stickers required full support for token based access in Telegram (and we added the same verification for Discord roles). BAYC team members were among the first to test the full flow and confirm it worked the way real communities operate. Because of that work, every project on TON now starts with infrastructure that is already validated by one of the strongest communities in Web3.
If your community lives in chat, TON is bringing the culture and Collab.Land stays bringing the rails.
Built With Our Day One Principles
Collab.Land has supported tokenized communities longer than anyone in Web3. Since May 2020, our priorities have stayed the same. Safety. Stability. Scale. Dedication. We have supported more than fifty thousand communities and millions of wallet connections, and we are still in the game with you.
The BAYC rollout showed exactly how we approach community infrastructure. Working side by side with the BAYC team helped us validate everything required for TON stickers to function as access tokens in Telegram and as role qualifiers in Discord. Their feedback refined the final experience that now serves the entire TON ecosystem.
We built TON support with the same care we used when we created token gating itself. It is safe, reliable, and ready for real communities.

The Next Chapter of Tokenized Communities
Since May 2020, we have watched Web3 evolve through many cycles. Trends come and go. The communities that last are the ones with real belonging, real ownership, and the right tools.
TON brings the culture. Collab.Land brings the infrastructure. You bring the community.
TON has entered the chat. Literally.
Let’s build what comes next.
Collab.Land token gating and membership verification operates as a read-only application, and has been doing so safely for over 5 year. By signing a message to add a new wallet, you affirm ownership of that particular wallet address. Collab.Land solely accesses public blockchains to verify that a member’s wallet addresses are linked to the required tokens for role or group membership. Collab.Land maintains no access beyond reading public wallet addresses, which are transparent to all users.
