# How to get USDT and TON

The TON network offers various ways to top up your crypto — from centralized exchanges to direct card payments. Let’s explore each method in detail.

***

## 👛 Setting Up a TON Wallet

To bring crypto into the TON network, you'll first need to set up a wallet. A wallet is an app that stores your Toncoin and lets you interact with other dApps on the network.

🔹 The ideal option is the [native Telegram wallet](https://t.me/wallet), which comes in two versions:

* **Wallet** — custodial wallet (funds are managed by the service);
* **TON Space** — non-custodial wallet with a seed phrase (you have full control).

TON also offers a variety of other wallets to suit your preferences. You can explore all options via the [official wallet page](https://ton.org/wallets?locale=en\&pagination\[limit]=-1).
