How to Send Tether (USDT-Jetton) with Gem Wallet

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for sending Tether (USDT) Jettons on the TON blockchain network using the Gem Wallet app.

Things to Remember before Sending USDT (Jetton)​

  • Enabled USDT-Jetton Wallet: Gem Wallet installed and you have added a USDT-Jetton wallet.
  • Double-Check the Network: Ensure the recipient’s wallet supports USDT Jettons to avoid loss of funds.
  • Verify the Address: Always confirm the recipient’s wallet address to prevent errors. Using a QR code reduces the risk of mistakes.
  • Maintain Sufficient TON: Have some TON (e.g., 0.5–1 TON) in your wallet to cover Network Fees.

  4. Handle Insufficient TON Error

    • If you see an error message stating "Insufficient TON for network fee," it means you don't have enough TON in your wallet to cover the transaction fee. You can skip to Step 6 if you do not see any errors.

      • Go to the main screen of the Gem Wallet app.
      • Tap on "Buy" or "Receive" to add TON to your wallet.
      • To buy TON:
        • Select "Buy" and choose TON.
        • Follow the prompts to purchase TON using a supported payment method (e.g., credit card).

        • Tap "Receive" to display your TON wallet address or QR code.
        • Share this address or QR code with an exchange or another wallet to transfer TON to your Gem Wallet.
      • Wait for the TON to appear in your wallet (confirmation time depends on the TON blockchain).
