Common

What about exchanges? I want to buy some Grams now.

At the moment there is only (unofficial) test network, the currency in which costs nothing. Buy Grams is impossible before the launch of the official mainnet - beware scam!

Will current test Grams be real in the future? Can I use them?

Test tokens for tests only, they have no real value and will be useless when mainnet will be launched.

Testing and Development

Is https://test.ton.org/download an official resource?

There is no official statement that ton.org is related to TON network. But we trust it because:

  1. This is only one real source of information and code at this moment, and there was no denial from official representatives.
  2. The updates on https://test.ton.org/download.html show the development of the code, so it does not look like a scam.

Why source code is in two places: https://test.ton.org/downloads and on GitHub?

On GitHub, you can find a bunch of additions like building instructions/docker/ etc. in the pinned README, that devs build around the original source code.

How can I create an account and get free Grams?

You can create an account and get Grams:

  1. manually according to the instructions (official README or tutorial for Mac by copperbits).
  2. via Telegram bot @gram50bot by Johnny Doe
  3. get Grams in TON faucet

How much can I get from free Gram services?

You can get as many as wishes.

Where can I found documentation of all the API supported by full nodes?

You can find it in TON Whitepaper.
