Disintar

TL;DR – Disintar is a decentralized NFT marketplace on the TON blockchain where users can create NFT‑rooms, buy and sell goods with Toncoin, and leverage open‑source tools such as TONCLI and DTON. The platform launched in January 2022, exited beta on 1 April 2024, and ranks among the top NFT services in the TON App catalog.

Overview#

Disintar.io operates as a peer‑to‑peer NFT marketplace within the TON ecosystem. Transactions occur directly between buyer and seller in Toncoin, without escrow intermediaries. The platform logs all activity on‑chain, providing transparency and reducing the risk of fraud.

Key capabilities include:

Storing NFTs on the marketplace or any TON wallet (e.g., Tonkeeper, Telegram Wallet).
Publishing collections without programming knowledge; the system deploys the required smart contract automatically.
Creating NFT‑rooms, which are tokenized containers that hold and showcase a user’s collection. The size of a room determines its deployment cost and the maximum number of NFTs it can contain.
Monetizing artwork and digital assets through direct sales or transfers.

Login and account management are handled via TON Wallet connection or the Tonkeeper wallet. All on‑site transactions are settled in Toncoin.
