1. Welcome

Hello, fellow crypto enthusiast! I'm here to give you the rundown on TON FARM, the popular Telegram game where we all pretend to be digital farmers and actually earn real money. It launched in November 2024 and became an instant hit. The Ton Farm Token (TFT) was released in February 2025, and now, with the launch of Season 2 in early August, the game has new mechanics and even more ways to earn.

TON FARM is a "Pay-to-Earn" game. You buy a virtual miner, and it generates real TON coins for you. It’s not real mining; it’s just a simulation. But hey, it pays out, so who's complaining? I've put together this guide to get you earning your first TON coins as fast as possible. Let’s get to work.

2. Important note

WARNING! You can only buy miners inside the game. If anyone messages you privately—even if they claim to be an admin—and offers to sell miners, it’s a scam. Don't fall for it.

Also, while you can have up to three accounts, it's strongly recommended you stick to just one. Don't be greedy.

3. Interface overview

The interface is simple, so we'll cover it quickly.

Main Screen: This is your home base. You can see your miners and their pools, access settings, and get to your wallet, where you can buy TFT on Ston.fi.

Storage: All your miners are here. You start with three slots, one with a free miner. When you buy a new miner, this is where you activate it. You can also upgrade miners here.

Shop: The only place to buy new miners and backgrounds.

Pools: Miners need a pool to work. There are different pools for different miner types: FREE, ECO, HARD, and special TFT pools.

Wheel of Fortune: Spin it for a chance to get a good miner at a great price. It's a gamble, but a fun one.

4. First steps

a. Start your free miner

Here’s how to get your first miner working.

1. Click on Pools.
2. Find a pool that accepts the FREE MINER, like the F1 pool, and click Join.
3. Go back to the Main screen, click Choose pool, and select F1.
4. Click the 4 hours button to start mining. You’ll have to come back every four hours to restart it. The miner won’t work if you don’t click the button.
5. Want your miner to work non-stop? Select "Forever" to purchase continuous operation.

b. How to calculate daily profit

Ready for some quick math? Here's how to figure out your daily earnings. You'll need to do this for each of your miners.

1. Find your miner's current power (you can see it on the Home screen or in Storage).
2. Divide your miner's power by the total power of the pool you've joined. (For a more accurate number, add your miner's power to the total pool power before you divide.)
3. Multiply that result by the pool's daily distribution.

Just like a real asset, your mining pool's value won't last forever. Most pools are only active for 40 days (the F1 pool is an exception at 80 days).

During a pool's life, it goes through two halvings. The first happens when 50% of the pool's balance is gone, and the second when 25% is left. This means the daily payout gets cut in half, so your earnings will drop. For example, a pool that starts with a 20,000 TON balance and a 1,000 TON daily distribution would work like this:

• Days 1-10: Payouts are 1,000 TON per day.
• Days 11-20: Payouts drop to 500 TON per day.
• Days 21-40: Payouts drop again to 250 TON per day.

Make sure you're aware of the pool's life cycle to keep your profits from taking a nosedive.

c. Deposits and withdrawals

The minimum for both deposits and withdrawals is 1 TON. Deposits are free, but withdrawals come with a 10% fee and can take anywhere from 1 minute to 24 hours to process.

Deposit via Connected Wallet

1. Click the wallet icon in the top-right corner.
2. Connect your wallet to avoid errors.
3. Choose the wallet you want to deposit from.
4. Click "Deposit via TON."
5. Select "Connected wallet."
6. Enter the amount you want to deposit and click "Deposit via TON" again.

Manual Deposit

1. Click the wallet icon.
2. Click "Deposit TON manually."
3. Copy the wallet address and the MEMO. This is crucial—if you forget the MEMO, your money will be lost.
4. Open your personal wallet, click to withdraw to an external address, and paste the wallet address from the previous step.
5. Enter the amount you want to deposit. The minimum is 1 TON, and the number must be a whole number.
6. Paste the MEMO into the comment field and click to send.

Withdrawal (TON and TFT)

1. Click the wallet icon in the top-right corner.
2. Make sure your wallet is connected to avoid errors.
3. Click "Withdraw TON" or "Withdraw TFT."
4. Click "Use your address" to send funds to your connected wallet, or enter a wallet address manually.
5. Click the Withdraw button to confirm.

d. How to buy TFT

Want to get your hands on some TFT? Here's how to do it in a few simple steps:

1. Click the wallet icon in the top-right corner.
2. In your wallet, click "Exchange coins" to go to the STON.fi exchange.
3. Select TON to exchange for TFT.
4. Enter the amount of TFT you want to buy.
5. Click "Connect wallet" and then "Swap" to complete the trade.

It's that easy to start stockpiling the game's most valuable token.

e. Increase the power of your miner

Ready to turn your humble miner into a cash-generating beast? You can give it a major power boost in three ways: by upgrading its level, by adding a background, or by doing both for maximum effect.

Upgrade Your Miner

1. Go to the Storage screen.
2. Select the miner you want to upgrade.
3. Click "Up level".
4. Then click "Level Up" to increase its power by 5%.

You can level up your miner 30 times in total, for a massive 150% increase in its base power. The upgrade takes between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the miner's current power.

• Example for an A15 miner:
  100 Mh/s + (100 Mh/s * 1.5) = 250 Mh/s

Add a Background

5. To add additional power, select a background and click on it.

6. You can buy backgrounds from the Shop. These aren't just for looks; they can add anywhere from 40% to 350% to your miner's base power.

• Example for an A15 with a blue background:
  100 Mh/s + (100 Mh/s * 0.4) = 140 Mh/s

Combine the Effects

For the best results, use both. The bonuses add up, so your miner will become a true powerhouse.

• Example with an upgraded A15 miner and a blue background:
  100 Mh/s + (100 Mh/s * 1.5) + (100 Mh/s * 0.4) = 290 Mh/s

f. Buying and activating miners

You bought a shiny new miner from the shop—congrats! Now, let's get that thing working.

1. Go to your Storage screen.
2. Find an empty slot and click "Fill the slot."
3. On the next screen, click "Put it in the slot."
4. A new window will pop up. Choose a pool for your miner and a background if you have one.

That's it! Your new miner is now officially part of the team.

5. What's next?

Congratulations, your miner is officially working! But don't just sit back and relax. This isn't a "set it and forget it" operation. You need to actively manage your farm to maintain profitability. Here's how to do it:

• Be a Pool-Hopping Pro: Monitor the pools several times a day. The more people in a pool, the less you earn, so switch to a pool with a lower hashrate to maximize your income. Keep an eye on a pool's life cycle. The best time to join is right after it's issued, before the dreaded "halving" cuts the payout.
• Create a Reinvestment Plan: Your profit can drop as other players upgrade their miners. To stay competitive, you'll need a strategy for reinvesting your earnings. Consider using a portion of your money to upgrade your current miners or buy new ones (especially limited-edition models when they appear). A 60/30 strategy (60% reinvested, 30% withdrawn) is a great way to keep your farm healthy and profitable.
• Choose Your Miners Wisely: When you're ready to buy a new miner, remember this: the more expensive a miner is, the cheaper its cost per MH/s generally is. This means more powerful miners offer the quickest return on investment, especially if you pair them with a powerful background.

6. Conclusion

TON FARM is a unique Telegram project that offers a great opportunity to earn money. But remember, this isn't a bank account or a traditional investment. It's a game where you buy a chance to earn money, and everything else is up to you.

To succeed, you need to be consistent, stay active, and be aware of all the changes in the game. Do these things, and you'll be well on your way to earning a profit.

Good luck!
