# Ton Whales

> All information about wallets, staking and mining on the TON network.

Ton Whales is a staking service provider for the TON network. It offers staking pools, a mobile wallet, and a blockchain explorer for TON holders.

Ton Whales is a staking service provider for the TON blockchain network. It offers decentralized staking pools that let TON holders delegate funds for network validation without operating their own infrastructure, alongside a non-custodial mobile wallet, a blockchain explorer, and a community membership program. The service is aimed at both individual holders and larger stakeholders seeking a straightforward way to participate in TON validation.

The platform addresses the technical complexity of running validators by pooling funds from many participants into smart contracts that handle delegation and reward distribution automatically. Staking pools are tiered for different user types, from smaller retail pools to pools designed for large holders and partner integrations, and rewards are shared proportionally among participants. An open monitoring dashboard provides visibility into validator status and infrastructure performance.

Beyond staking, Ton Whales operates Tonhub, a self-custody wallet with integrated staking and card features, and a blockchain explorer for tracking addresses and transactions. It also runs a membership club built around a non-fungible token collection that grants holders benefits such as priority access to products. The offering is used by TON holders ranging from individual retail participants to institutional staking partners.

## Products

- [Whales Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): Whales Staking is a staking service for the TON network that lets users delegate TON to validator nomination pools. It operates through smart contracts that guarantee delegated coins are used only for validation, sharing validation rewards among pool members. Users can also opt into a liquid staking pool, receiving wsTON tokens that track staking rewards and remain tradable or usable in other applications while the underlying TON stays staked. (Staking & Validation Services, Live, Main Product)
- [Ton Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): Ton Explorer is a blockchain explorer for the TON network that lets users search addresses and smart contracts. It displays the latest blocks and network configuration data for anyone verifying on-chain activity. The explorer also provides curated lists such as top account holders and early miners for research purposes. (Block Explorer, Live)
- [Tonhub](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): Tonhub is a self-custodial mobile wallet for the TON network that helps users store, send, and manage digital assets from a smartphone. It supports TON along with additional tokens, and integrates with NFT marketplaces so users can view and trade collectibles directly within the app. The wallet also exposes developer-facing web integrations for connecting external applications to user wallets. (Wallet, Live)
- [The Whales Club](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): The Whales Club is a membership community built around a limited NFT collection for TON builders and users. Holding a club NFT grants gated access to shared resources, priority coordination channels, and updates on ecosystem developments. Membership also confers benefits within other Ton Whales products, including reduced staking commissions and priority access to a planned crypto card offering. (Social Platform, Live)
- [Tonhub Card](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): Tonhub Card is a crypto debit card linked to a non-custodial blockchain wallet, letting users spend cryptocurrency at merchants that accept card payments. The card converts crypto to fiat on-chain at the point of purchase or transfer, and can be added to mobile tap-to-pay wallets. Users apply through the Tonhub app, complete identity verification, and receive a virtual card once approved, with functionality to send fiat abroad using bank account details paid from their crypto balance. (Live)
- [InfinityTON Mining Pool](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): InfinityTON Mining Pool is a mining pool service that lets users mine legacy proof-of-work coins and receive rewards converted into Gram, the token that preceded TON. Users register through a bot, connect supported graphics cards or SHA-256 hardware, and point their mining software at pool endpoints for specific algorithms. Balances accrue in the pool and can be checked or withdrawn to a wallet address specified at signup. (Live)

## Assets

- [wsTON (WSTON)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ton_whales): WSTON is a liquid staking token representing staked TON on Whales Staking. It is used for trading on decentralized exchanges and can be redeemed for TON at any time. Its exchange rate increases continuously as staking rewards accumulate, allowing holders to keep a constant token balance while its value relative to TON grows. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
