Deposit

Send TON from your linked wallet into the escrow contract. Each node you register locks 1 TON of that balance as its stake; the rest stays withdrawable.

example
Deposit 2 TON  → register 2 nodes (1 TON stake each)
Deposit 3 TON  → 2 nodes + 1 TON withdrawable

Your deposit is the pool node stakes are locked from. Nothing is sent separately when you register a node: 1 TON of your balance is locked, and registration fails if less than 1 TON is available.

How much

  • 1 TON for each node you plan to register.
  • The Wallet page accepts deposits from 0.5 TON; the contract rejects anything under 0.05 TON.
  • Keep some TON in the wallet itself as well: claims and withdrawals need at least 0.08 TON there for gas.

What happens

  1. Enter the amount and click Send → stake.
  2. TonConnect opens your wallet with a deposit to the escrow contract. Approve it.
  3. The contract credits the whole amount to your wallet's deposit. ProofKit checks the contract every 30 seconds, so your balance updates within about a minute.

Your wallet adds its own network fee on top of the amount.

A stake is returned to your balance when you delete the node, minus anything slashed. See Stake.
