How it works
from a .ton name to a page in your browser
-
Step 1
Type a name
Enter a .ton name. It turns into a regular https:// link — nothing to install first.
-
Step 2
The gateway looks it up
It reads the site’s address from TON DNS — the on-chain registry of .ton names.
-
Step 3
A direct connection
It connects to the site over ADNL and RLDP, the native protocols of TON Sites.
-
Step 4
The page opens
You get the site over HTTPS in the browser you already use — no wallet, no extension.
Questions
short answers
What is a .ton website?
It is a website whose address is stored on the TON blockchain instead of the regular domain name system. An ordinary browser doesn’t understand such addresses — that’s why a gateway is needed: it finds the site on TON and serves it as a familiar web page.
Can I open any .ton site here?
Only sites that are connected to this gateway. If a name doesn’t open, it either isn’t connected yet or the site is offline at the moment.
Do I need a wallet or a browser extension?
No. Just open a link like https://name.ton-s.app in any browser, on a phone or a computer. There is nothing to install or connect.
Why does a page sometimes take a moment to open?
The gateway has to find the site on the TON network and open a connection to it. That usually takes a fraction of a second; an occasional delay of a few seconds is normal for TON.
Is it safe to open sites through a gateway?
The connection between your browser and the gateway is protected by HTTPS. A gateway is an intermediary, though, and can technically see the pages it relays. Don’t enter passwords or seed phrases on sites you don’t trust; for maximum privacy use a local TON proxy.
