# TON

TON supports the following signature `kinds`:

* `Message`, unsigned external-in message.

## Message

Signs an unsigned external-in message in BoC format. Note: successful signing doesn't return `signedData`. Constructing the broadcast data depends on the target smart contract.

| Field            | Description                             | Type - Optional |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| `blockchainKind` | `Ton`                                   | String          |
| `kind`           | `Message`                               | String          |
| `message`        | The serialized external-in message BoC. | String          |

```json
{
  "blockchainKind": "Ton",
  "kind": "Message",
  "message": "0xb5ee9c7241010201004400011c29a9a317671ba91000000004000301006242000b3fa8f8f4c8abf5f1086d9d8ca76c23ac7186a03cd4142b77428237abb8bfb7880800000000000000000000000000bc0d3854"

### Typescript Example with ton-core <a href="#typescript-example" id="typescript-example"></a>

First install ton-core. You can find the full documentation here: <https://github.com/ton-org/ton>

Ton requires a specific message format when interacting with the network. We need to create a signing message payload BoC. Then, we can sign the BoC via [the Dfns TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/dfns/dfns-sdk-ts):

```typescript
import { beginCell, internal, SendMode, storeMessageRelaxed, TonClient, WalletContractV4 } from '@ton/ton'

const walletId = 'wa-6lbfv-9esgj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
const wallet = await dfnsClient.wallets.getWallet({ walletId })

const client = new TonClient({ endpoint })

const contract = client.open(
  WalletContractV4.create({
    workchain: 0,
    publicKey: Buffer.from(wallet.signingKey.publicKey, 'hex'),
  })
)

const seqno = await opened.getSeqno()

const builder = beginCell().storeUint(contract.walletId, 32)
if (seqno === 0) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
    builder.storeBit(1)
  }
} else {
  builder.storeUint(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1e3) + 60, 32)
}

builder.storeUint(seqno, 32)
builder.storeUint(0, 8)
builder.storeUint(SendMode.PAY_GAS_SEPARATELY, 8)

const message = internal({
  value: '1',
  to: '0QDXET3_xkWbJwXv16hU402QY3hS3cCelF5Ax3cvUpEbzG5A',
  body: 'Dfns SDK Example',
})

const cell = builder.storeRef(beginCell().store(storeMessageRelaxed(message))).endCell()

const res = await dfnsClient.wallets.generateSignature({
  walletId,
  body: {
    kind: 'Message',
    message: `0x${cell.toBoc().toString('hex')}`,
  },
})
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-legacy.dfns.co/d/api-docs/keys/generate-signature/ton.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
