SHKeeper Integration: TON and USDT-TON Support via Toncenter API

SHKeeper continues to expand its ecosystem by adding support for TON (The Open Network). This update allows merchants to accept both native TON tokens and USDT on the TON network, leveraging its high speed and low transaction costs.

Currently, TON integration is implemented via the Toncenter API. This approach allows users to start accepting payments immediately without the need to maintain a resource-intensive TON full node.

Key Features

• Native TON Support: Accept the primary asset of The Open Network.
• USDT-TON Integration: Utilize the most popular stablecoin within the TON ecosystem.
• Simplified Infrastructure: No local node required; connectivity is handled via external RPC.

Prerequisites

To enable TON support, an active subscription to Toncenter is required. You can obtain your API credentials via @tonapibot.

Configuration & Deployment

1. Update values.yaml: Add the following configuration block to your settings:

#
# TON (THE OPEN NETWORK)
#

ton_fullnode:
  enabled: false
  mainnet: true

ton_shkeeper:
  extraEnv:
    LAST_BLOCK_LOCKED: "FALSE"
    TONCENTER_API_URL: 'https://toncenter.com'
    TONCENTER_INDEXER_URL: 'https://toncenter.com'
    TONCENTER_API_KEY: "YOUR_TONCENTER_API_KEY"
    TONCENTER_INDEXER_KEY: "YOUR_TONCENTER_INDEXER_KEY"

ton:
  enabled: true

ton_usdt:
  enabled: true

Replace YOUR_TONCENTER_API_KEY and YOUR_TONCENTER_INDEXER_KEY with the keys provided by Toncenter.

2. Apply the Update: Run the following commands to redeploy your SHKeeper instance:

helm repo update

helm upgrade -f values.yaml shkeeper vsys-host/shkeeper

Future Roadmap

While current support relies on the Toncenter API, we are working towards implementing a dedicated SHKeeper TON full node in future releases to provide even more autonomy for our users.
