# How to Get a TON RPC Endpoint

The Open Network (TON) has become the leading blockchain for Telegram-integrated applications, mini-apps, and payments. With TON's unique architecture (TVM, not EVM) and the massive Telegram user base, demand for reliable TON RPC access is growing fast. Here's how to set up a TON endpoint with GetBlock.

### TON's API is Different from EVM Chains

TON uses its own HTTP API — not the JSON-RPC standard used by Ethereum and EVM chains. TON API methods include:

* `getAddressInformation` — get account balance and state
* `getTransactions` — fetch transaction history
* `detectAddress` — normalize address formats
* `estimateFee` — estimate transaction cost
* `sendBoc` — submit transactions

{% hint style="info" %}
GetBlock supports the full TON HTTP API specification.

### Step-by-Step: Get Your TON RPC Endpoint

3. Select:

   * **Protocol:** TON
   * **Network:** Mainnet
   * **API Interface:** JSON-RPC or JSON-RPC(v3) or HTTP API(v4)
   * **Region:** Frankfurt (EU)

4. Click **"Create":** Your endpoint URL will be generated immediately.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Copy Your Endpoint URL

Your endpoint URL looks like this:

```
https://go.getblock.io/a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678abcdef01/
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The long string after `go.getblock.io/` is your **access token** — keep it private.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
