Getgems is a decentralized NFT marketplace built on the TON blockchain. It enables users to create, buy, sell, and collect non‑fungible tokens (NFTs) through fixed‑price listings or auctions.
Getgems offers a simple interface for minting NFTs with customizable royalties, browsing popular collections, and trading via fixed price or auction modes. The platform also provides community features such as comments, social sharing, and regular events.
Core Features#
NFT Trading
- Supports both fixed‑price sales and auction‑style bidding.
- Displays detailed information for each NFT, including price history, number of owners, and bid activity.
- Allows users to track market prices to make informed buying or selling decisions.
NFT Creation
- Simple minting workflow for single NFTs or entire collections.
- Creators can add descriptions, tags, and set royalty percentages (0–30%).
- Minting requires a small TON fee (see Fees section).

Popular Collections on Getgems#
- Telegram Usernames – catalog of unique Telegram usernames (~143,000 items).
- Telegram Anonymous Numbers – limited‑edition anonymous numbers (136,600 NFTs).
- TON DNS Domains –
.tondomain NFTs (56,000 total supply). - TON Diamonds – exclusive collection granting early access and privileges (10,000 NFTs).
- Notcoin Pre‑Market – early‑stage collection that topped weekly trading volume shortly after launch.
Rarity Index#
Each collection includes a Rarity score that indicates how uncommon an NFT is relative to others in the same set. Lower scores denote higher rarity and typically higher market value. Creators caution that rarity is only one factor; community interest, provenance, and attached privileges also affect price.
Example: Fanton Fantasy Football
The Fanton collection contains 28,000 player cards divided into three rarity tiers:
- Rare – 56% of the cards, basic attributes.
- Epic – 33% of the cards, enhanced attributes.
- Legendary – 11% of the cards, top‑tier players with the best in‑game stats.

Fees#
TON is known for low transaction costs. On Getgems:
-
Minting a single NFT costs 0.05 TON for gas plus 0.02 TON service fee (~0.07 TON total).
-
To invoke a sale contract, the account must hold at least 0.3 TON as a reserve; most of this amount is returned after the transaction (~98%).
