TON Dating: Dating by Application

The big dating apps are packed with fakes, bots and profiles without faces. TON Dating tries a different path: a community with screening, where profiles have to meet requirements and the conversation lives right inside Telegram. 💬

It launched in June 2024 and runs as a Mini App, with nothing extra to install. Here is how it works and where to be careful.

Why it calls itself selective

The wording from its profile: high-quality connections for ambitious and beautiful people. In plain terms, not everyone gets in. Profiles are reviewed, and an application includes several steps of identity verification.

The goal is to keep out anonymous accounts and bots. How well that works in practice is for members to judge. Independent checks are scarce, so rely on your own experience of the conversations.

Applying to join

You can create a profile on the project's website or sign in with a crypto wallet that supports TON. All of it can be done inside Telegram.

Applicants are generally asked for a short bio, date of birth and location. One journalist who tried signing up found the data request too detailed and quit. Decide for yourself how much you are willing to share. 🔐

1. Open the app and start an application.
2. Fill in your profile and add photos.
3. Go through identity verification.
4. Wait for the decision.

As with any dating service, results depend on your profile. Recent real photos, a couple of lively lines about yourself and honest interests beat any trick.

Money, subscription and Toncoin

The project channel describes a subscription model for men. Press coverage says registration is free for women. Check the app for current terms and prices, because they can change.

One extra: you can earn Toncoin for activity. That covers inviting friends, likes, matches and other actions, with rewards going to the most active members.

Treat it as a bonus, not as income. Crypto prices swing, and there is no promise of earnings here and there cannot be one. 📉

Before you sign up

Dating that involves money always calls for a clear head. If a match asks you to send money, move to another messenger, buy something from a link, or pay for verification on the side, it is almost certainly a scam.

• Personal data: never send documents to other members. Only the app runs verification.
• Wallet: connect one that does not hold large amounts.
• Subscription: before paying, know exactly what you get and how to cancel.
• Meetings: first date in a public place, with someone close knowing where you are.

Before applying, read the community rules and the subscription terms. It takes five minutes and saves frustration.

Who it fits

People tired of a flood of random profiles who accept screening in exchange for a more closed circle. People who already live in Telegram and TON and would rather not hop between apps.

If you expect easy money for likes, the app will disappoint you. Toncoin is a pleasant extra, and no reason to open it by itself.
