TON Connect inside Telegram Mini Apps

// TESTNET · EDUCATIONAL

Rivyu is experimental testnet software. This page is for onboarding and mechanics only — not investment, tax, or legal advice. Never share seed phrases; use only official links from this site or from inside the Rivyu Mini App.

Why wallets feel different in Telegram

Telegram Mini Apps run as web experiences inside Telegram's in-app browser. When a Mini App asks to connect a wallet, it typically uses TON Connect — the same wallet-linking flow you would see on a normal website, adapted for mobile and WebView constraints.

That matters for discovery: many first-time errors are not "broken dapps" but network mismatch (testnet vs mainnet), popup blockers, or connecting the wrong profile in a multi-wallet app.

What to verify before you approve a connection

Official entrypoint — open the Rivyu experience from the official bot link: https://t.me/Rivyuofficialbot.
Domain + TLS — the in-app browser should show a normal HTTPS URL for the Mini App shell; avoid copy-pasting mystery links from DMs.
Network — for Rivyu testnet, your wallet must be on TON testnet before you expect testnet jettons or calls to succeed.

How Rivyu uses this stack (high level)

Rivyu is a Telegram Mini App on TON: engagement-based mining, staking pools, loot chests, referrals, and other reward surfaces ultimately settle against on-chain contracts and signed claim paths. You can read the protocol narrative on the whitepaper and the operator-facing mechanics in the FAQ.

If you are evaluating whether to try the testnet, treat wallet prompts like security UX: read what you are signing, confirm the site/bot is official, and keep testnet funds separate from mainnet savings.
