$TON Tech, the infrastructure team within The Open Platform, launched Agentic Wallets on $TON, an open standard that allows AI agents to manage funds and execute transactions directly on the $TON blockchain.
The standard gives each AI agent a dedicated onchain wallet funded by the user. The setup is designed to be noncustodial, with the user retaining ownership through their main wallet while the agent can only transact within the allocated balance.
The launch is aimed at solving a key limitation for AI agents: they can plan, recommend, and communicate, but still need a way to act financially without users handing over private keys or approving every transaction manually. $TON’s documentation describes agentic wallets as smart contracts operated by AI agents while remaining owned by a human user.
The feature is especially relevant inside Telegram, where AI agents already have a large distribution channel. Telegram says it has more than 1 billion active users, while $TON has framed Telegram as the natural home for agent based crypto activity because users, wallet infrastructure, and payment rails already sit inside the same interface.
$TON Tech said Agentic Wallets can support trading bots operating within predefined budgets, DeFi agents automating staking or portfolio management, recurring payments, API usage, and multiple agent setups where each agent has its own wallet and spending scope.
For developers, the launch adds another piece to $TON’s Telegram focused app stack. The Open Platform says it builds infrastructure and consumer apps on $TON to drive crypto adoption, and recently highlighted work around dApps, wallets, and AI agents inside the $TON developer stack.
The broader $TON ecosystem has been expanding wallet infrastructure around Telegram. Dynamic and Fireblocks recently added $TON support for developers building payment, trading, and commerce apps inside Telegram Mini Apps, underscoring the push to make Telegram a more complete onchain app environment.
Andrew Grekov, head of $TON Tech, said Agentic Wallets turn AI agents from assistants into actors, allowing Telegram based agents to make payments and interact with onchain services on behalf of users without touching their keys.
