Tonnel Marketplace is the largest and most convenient platform within the Telegram ecosystem for buying and selling NFT gifts. It allows users to securely trade digital assets like Homemade Cake, Interstellar Cake, and others with minimal risks and maximum automation. In this guide, we’ll break down how to get started with Tonnel Marketplace: from registration and wallet setup to buying, selling, and participating in auctions. If you’re looking to safely buy or sell NFT gifts on Telegram, this step-by-step guide is for you!
What is Tonnel Marketplace?
Tonnel Marketplace is a decentralized marketplace operating on The Open Network (TON), enabling Telegram users to buy, sell, and trade NFT gifts. These gifts are tokenized assets that can be used for staking, collecting, or reselling. The platform is fully automated, eliminating the risk of fraud, and offers near-instant deposits and withdrawals.
Tonnel Marketplace is integrated with Telegram via the official bot @Tonnel_Network_bot, making it user-friendly for Telegram users. The platform supports TON wallets like Tonkeeper and Telegram’s built-in wallet, and provides a range of features: from selling gifts to participating in auctions and creating giveaways.
Step 1: Registration and Setting Up a TON Wallet
To use Tonnel Marketplace, you’ll need a wallet on the TON blockchain. Here’s how to set it up:
- Tonkeeper: The recommended option, as it’s an anonymous, non-custodial wallet that doesn’t require passport verification. It’s suitable for users under 18 and won’t freeze your funds.
- Telegram Built-in Wallet: Available in the left menu tab of your Telegram account, but it may require verification and occasionally freezes funds.
- Create a Wallet: Download Tonkeeper for iOS or Android (or use Telegram’s built-in wallet).
- Create a new wallet and securely store your seed phrase (12 words) — this is the key to your funds.
- Fund your wallet with TON via exchanges (e.g., Bybit, Binance) or P2P platforms.
- Link Your Wallet to Tonnel Marketplace: Access the bot @Tonnel_Network_bot.
- Press “Start” to activate the bot.
- Follow the bot’s instructions to link your wallet, typically by connecting Tonkeeper or Telegram’s built-in wallet.
Step 2: How to Sell an NFT Gift on Tonnel Marketplace
If you have an NFT gift in your Telegram inventory that you’d like to sell, follow these steps:
Send the Gift to the Marketplace:
- In the Tonnel Marketplace bot, go to the My Gifts section.
- At the bottom, find the prompt: “Want to sell your gift? Send it to the GiftRelayer bot.”
- Go to the GiftRelayer bot and send the word Hi (this needs to be done only once to initiate a dialogue).
- Return to your Telegram profile, select the gift you want to sell, tap on its card, and press Transfer.
- In the search bar, enter the GiftRelayer bot’s tag (be careful not to confuse it with fake bots) and send the gift.
- If you upgraded the gift to an NFT yourself, the transfer is free. If the gift wasn’t upgraded, the transfer costs 25 Stars.
Check the Marketplace Inventory:
- Within a minute, the gift will appear in your Tonnel Marketplace inventory under Unlisted Gifts. You’ll receive a notification from the bot confirming the transfer.
Determine the Selling Price:
- Use the marketplace’s search filters to find the minimum price (floor price) for your gift model. For example, if you have a Jingle Bells with the Rose Gold 1.4% model, select this type and model in the filters, sort by price from low to high, and check the minimum price (e.g., 0.55 TON).
- Note that the marketplace charges a 10% commission. If the minimum price is 0.55 TON, you should list it at 0.5 TON to match the market price after the commission.
- You can also check the Activity section to see the prices at which similar gifts were sold previously and adjust your price accordingly.
List the Gift for Sale:
- Go to Unlisted Gifts, select the gift, and press List for Sale.
- Set the price in one of the supported currencies: USDT, Tonnel Token, or TON.
- Press List. The gift will appear in the Listed Gifts section, and you’ll receive a notification that it’s now on sale.
What Happens After the Sale:
- Once the gift is purchased, you’ll receive a notification, and the funds will be credited to your Tonnel Marketplace balance.
- To withdraw funds, tap the “minus” icon in your balance, select the amount, and confirm the withdrawal. The funds will arrive in your TON wallet within minutes.
How to Cancel a Sale:
- If the gift doesn’t sell or you change your mind, go to Listed Gifts, select the gift, and press Cancel Sale.
- The gift will return to Unlisted Gifts. If you want to transfer it back to your Telegram profile, press Return Gift (this costs 0.2 TON).
Step 3: How to Buy an NFT Gift on Tonnel Marketplace
If you want to purchase an NFT gift, follow these steps:
Fund Your Balance:
- Tap the “plus” icon in your Tonnel Marketplace balance.
- Transfer funds from your TON wallet (Tonkeeper or Telegram’s built-in wallet) to the marketplace balance.
Select a Gift:
- Go to the Store (Catalog) section in the Tonnel Marketplace bot.
- Use filters to find the gift you want (e.g., Eternal Rose with a Black background).
- Tap on the gift’s card to view its price and details.
Purchase the Gift:
- Press Buy and confirm the transaction in your TON wallet.
- After the purchase, the gift will automatically be sent to your Telegram profile. If you want to keep it in the marketplace inventory, enable the Internal Purchase option in the My Gifts section (the gift will then appear in Unlisted Gifts).
Bulk Purchase:
- Add multiple gifts to your cart by tapping the cart icon.
- Go to the cart and complete the purchase in one transaction.
Send the Gift to a Friend:
- Open a chat with your friend in Telegram.
- Tap the paperclip icon, select Gifts, and choose the purchased gift.
- Add a message (optional) and press Send.
Step 4: Participating in Auctions
Tonnel Marketplace allows you to list gifts for auction, which is especially useful for rare items (e.g., with a number like 777):
- List a Gift for Auction: Go to Unlisted Gifts, select the gift, and press Put for Auction.
- Set the starting price (minimum 2 TON), choose the auction duration, and press List.
- The gift will appear in the Listed Gifts section with bidding details.
- Go to the Auctions section to view current lots.
- Use filters to find gifts you’re interested in and place bids.
- Track your bids in the My Bids section (under My Gifts).
- After the auction ends, the highest bid wins, and the funds are credited to your balance.
Step 5: Creating Automatic Buy Orders
You can set up automatic buy orders to purchase gifts at a favorable price:
- Go to My Gifts → My Orders.
- Press Create Buy Order.
- Specify the gift’s characteristics (e.g., Eternal Rose with a Black background), set the minimum and maximum price (e.g., 0.5 to 5 TON), select the currency, and choose the quantity.
- Create the order (cost: 0.1 TON).
- If someone lists a matching gift within your price range, your order will automatically purchase it (if you have sufficient funds in your balance).
Note: Orders are executed in a queue, so your request may be behind other users.
Step 6: Creating Giveaways for Telegram Channels
If you have a Telegram channel, you can host a giveaway using Tonnel Marketplace:
- Go to My Gifts, select a gift in Unlisted Gifts, and press Create Giveaway.
- Add the Tonnel bot as an admin to your channel.
- Enter your channel’s tag, set the giveaway duration, and configure settings (e.g., participation only for Premium subscribers or channel boosters).
- Create the giveaway (cost: 0.5 TON per item).
- The giveaway will be automatically posted to your channel.
Step 7: Withdrawing Funds from Tonnel Marketplace
- Tap the “minus” icon in your balance.
- Select the amount to withdraw and confirm.
- The funds will arrive in your TON wallet within minutes.
- To withdraw to a bank card, use P2P exchanges like those on Bybit or Binance.
Additional Tips
- Optimize Performance: If your phone overheats, enable the Performance option in the My Gifts section to disable animations.
- Buying Stars: If you need Telegram Stars, you can purchase them affordably and without KYC verification on the Split platform.
- Stay Updated: Tonnel Marketplace is actively evolving, adding new features like NFT avatars, status badges, and promotions. Follow Telegram channels dedicated to NFTs to stay informed.
