Vertus wallet

What is Vertus (VERT)?

Vertus belongs to the family of Telegram-native apps on TON, where the app and the token live inside the messenger rather than on a website. Most people meet VERT through a mini-app, which means their first balance sits in an in-app account - and moving it out to a wallet you actually control is a separate, deliberate action. Until you have done that, you are holding a number inside someone else's app.

On TON itself, VERT is a jetton, and jettons do not work the way ERC-20 tokens do. Instead of one contract tracking every holder, each holder gets their own small jetton wallet contract, deployed the first time tokens arrive. A little TON stays locked in it to cover storage, and TON also pays the gas and forward fees on every transfer. So you always need some TON beside your VERT, even if VERT is the only thing you care about.

The other TON habit worth internalising is the comment field. Deposits to services on TON are routinely matched by a text memo attached to the transfer, and a transfer sent without the memo arrives at the right contract but not in the right account. Copy it exactly, every time.

In Tangem, VERT and the TON that funds it sit in one wallet, shown side by side, and the transfer is authorised by holding the card to your phone instead of typing a phrase into a browser. Pulling tokens out of a mini-app and into a key you hold physically is the natural end point for anything earned inside Telegram.
