HOT Wallet: Crypto Wallet in Telegram

A crypto wallet inside Telegram that needs no browser extension and no long address to memorize. HOT Wallet opens as a mini app, creates an account in a couple of taps, and lets you start mining the HOT token right away. 🔥

It used to be called HERE Wallet and runs on the NEAR blockchain. It launched in January 2024 and gained 200,000 users in its first day and a half.

Whose wallet is it, really

It is non-custodial: the keys are yours, not the company's. According to the project description, the wallet works independently of your Telegram account, and data stays stored on your device.

The price of that independence is simple. Lose your seed phrase and nobody can restore access: not support, not the developers.

Which networks it handles

The core is NEAR, but you can work with other networks too. The project description names Solana, Ethereum and TON, and reviews add Tron and Base.

• Transfers. Send tokens between addresses.
• Cross-chain swaps. Exchange assets between networks inside the app.
• Staking. Join pools and earn from locked tokens.
• Import. Sign in with an existing seed phrase.

Your first minutes

1. Open the app with the /app command or the bot button.
2. Choose to create a new account or log in with a seed phrase.
3. Get an address like yourname.tg, tied to your Telegram name.
4. Write the seed phrase on paper and hide it. Do not photograph it or send it in a chat.
5. Press Claim to receive your first HOT tokens.

How HOT gets mined

Mining here means accumulating tokens on a timer while a storage bar fills. When it is full, accrual stops until the next claim.

The higher the storage level, the longer you can stay away. Upgrades and missions raise the speed. Claiming is a separate blockchain transaction, so a small network fee applies.

There is also a two-level referral system: you receive a share of what invited friends claim. The /village command opens an overview of your village in the game part.

The risks worth knowing

The HOT token, like any token from a mining game, can swing hard in price, and no income is promised. Terms, fees and rules can change, so check current details in the app and the project's official channel.

Do not keep everything you own in a mini-app wallet. For large sums use a hardware wallet and keep here only what you can afford to lose. ⚠️
