# Your wallet ## Your personal vault (self-custody) The first time you open the app, Fronex generates a **personal vault** for you on TON — an on-chain wallet that only you control. You deposit native **USDT on TON** to your vault's address, and the USDT held there is your balance. You self-custody: Fronex never holds your funds for you. Two things matter about that: 1. **You self-custody.** Your USDT lives in your own vault on TON — it is **not** pooled into a Fronex treasury wallet. You can export your vault's recovery phrase at any time and move your funds yourself, with or without the app. 2. **Trading is instant; your funds stay on-chain.** While a market is live, Fronex matches and settles your predictions off-chain so the app feels instant — but the USDT that backs your balance stays in your own on-chain vault until you choose to move it. You can withdraw any time to any TON wallet you control, and the app sponsors the network gas. Because predictions settle off-chain, markets can resolve instantly while they're live — and your USDT stays in your own vault the whole time. ## Funding your wallet Open the Mini App, tap the wallet icon (top-right), then **Deposit**. Funding is **native USDT on TON only** — there is no card, on-ramp, bridge, or cross-chain swap. There are exactly two ways to fund your account, and both deliver **USDT on TON** to your deposit address. ### Option 1 — Connect your TON wallet (one tap) The simplest path. Connect a TON wallet — **Telegram Wallet, Tonkeeper**, or any TON Connect wallet — and approve a single USDT transfer that Fronex prepares for you. 1. Tap **Connect wallet** and pick your TON wallet. 2. Fronex builds the USDT transfer for you (the destination is set on our side — never trusted from your device) and your wallet shows it for approval. 3. Approve the transfer. You pay only the TON network gas for the transfer; if your wallet is short on TON, the app warns you before you sign so the transfer doesn't fail. ### Option 2 — Send to your deposit address (manual) Use this if you already hold USDT on TON in an exchange or another wallet. 1. The screen shows your deposit address (a `UQ…` or `EQ…` string, \~48 characters) and a QR code of it. 2. From any exchange or wallet that supports **USDT on TON**, set the network to **TON**, paste the address, and send. 3. Most TON deposits confirm in **a few seconds to a couple of minutes**. {% hint style="warning" %} **Send USDT on the TON network only.** Sending USDT on Tron, Ethereum, BSC, or any other network to this address will result in **permanent loss** — those funds cannot be recovered. Always confirm the network reads "TON" before you send. {% endhint %} Your balance updates automatically once the deposit lands and is detected on-chain — there's no fixed confirmation count to wait for. If it hasn't appeared after a few minutes, contact with your transaction hash. ### Minimum deposit The enforced minimum deposit is **0.01 USDT**. (Below that, USDT's six-decimal rounding can produce a zero-value transfer that still burns gas.) That said, TON network gas applies to every transfer, so for a first deposit we recommend sending at least **5 USDT** so the gas is small relative to the amount. ## Withdrawing To withdraw USDT to an external wallet: 1. Wallet → **Withdraw**. 2. Paste your destination TON address. 3. Enter the amount (USDT, TON network). 4. Confirm. Withdrawals usually settle within about a minute. **Fronex charges no withdrawal fee** — the exact amount you request is sent. The only cost is the TON network gas for the on-chain transfer, and **Fronex sponsors that gas** — it is not deducted from your balance. ### Minimum and limits * **Minimum withdrawal: 1 USDT** (a floor that keeps tiny transfers from costing more in gas than they're worth). * **Up to 5 withdrawals per rolling 24 hours** per account. There is no per-day USD cap and no cooldown on amounts — just this count limit, which applies at all times (it is not beta-only). ## Withdrawing to your own wallet Your balance lives in your own personal vault, so you have **two ways** to take funds off the platform. The simplest is to **withdraw** in-app (Wallet → Withdraw) to any TON address you control, such as Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet — the app signs the USDT from your vault and sponsors the gas. You can also **export your vault's recovery phrase** from the app's wallet settings and move the USDT yourself from any TON wallet, with or without Fronex. Because you self-custody, the security of your funds rests on two things: your Telegram account access **and** your recovery phrase. Anyone who has your recovery phrase can move your USDT — keep it offline and never share it with anyone, including people claiming to be Fronex. ## What we never ask for * A recovery phrase or seed phrase of any kind — Fronex never asks for one, ever * Your Telegram password or 2FA codes * A withdrawal "fee" paid to an outside address, or any payment to "unlock," "verify," or "release" your balance Anyone asking for those things is not Fronex. Forward the message to and block them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
