Fanton Token wallet

What is Fanton Token (FTON)?

Fanton runs fantasy football inside Telegram: you assemble a squad from real players in the big European competitions and your entry scores against how those players actually perform. FTON is the token the platform uses on the TON side of that, which is why most people first meet it inside a chat window rather than in a wallet.

On TON, FTON is a jetton, and jettons work unlike token balances elsewhere. Every holder has their own small contract, a jetton wallet, that stores the balance; it is deployed the first time tokens arrive, and a fraction of TON is attached to each transfer to pay for that contract's work. Fees are in TON, so a wallet with only FTON in it is stuck. The address you hand out to receive tokens is your ordinary TON wallet address, not the jetton wallet address that appears in an explorer, and sending to the latter is the classic way to lose a transfer. Many destinations also require a comment or memo field, which is part of the transfer message on TON rather than an extra step.

Moving FTON out of a chat-based wallet and onto a card changes who holds the key: it is created in the card's secure element and stays there, with a spare identical card as the way back in, and a recovery phrase only if you want one. Between seasons the tokens simply sit there, which is what most holders need from them.
