Quick answer
Prefer an in-wallet cross-chain swap to TON when quoted, review the full cost (network fees + 0.875% swap service fee), start with a tiny amount, then scale up. Avoid random bridge links from DMs.
Bridge vs swap (plain language)
| Method | What it is | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-chain swap in My Wallet | Aggregated route to an asset on TON | Quote can change; verify destination asset/network |
| External bridge UI | Third-party contracts/UI | Phishing sites; wrong chain selection |
| CEX intermediate | Withdraw from chain A, deposit, withdraw to TON | Custody + KYC + withdrawal network checks |
Suggested flow in My Wallet
- Hold the source asset on a supported network
- Open Swap and select a TON destination asset
- Read the route, timing, and fees carefully (cross-chain swap Help)
- Execute a small test
- Confirm receipt on TON before larger amounts
Safety rules
- Bookmarks beat search ads for bridge URLs
- Never approve unlimited unknown spenders casually
- Match memo/tag requirements if a service asks for one
- Official support never needs your seed (@mysupport)

FAQ
Can I bridge any token to TON?
Only if a route or bridge supports that pair. If no quote appears, the path may be unavailable.
Is bridging risk-free?
No. Smart-contract, routing, and user-error risks remain.
Do gasless transfers help bridging?
Gasless helps selected sends on TON/Solana—it does not remove bridge/swap risks.
