Purpose

The primary purpose of the Hide Token feature in Tonkeeper is to declutter your financial overview and protect you from "dusting attacks." In 2026, scammers frequently airdrop worthless tokens—often with names like "Claim 500 TON" or "Security Alert"—to thousands of addresses. These tokens often contain phishing links in their metadata or comments. By hiding these assets, you remove the visual noise from your dashboard and reduce the risk of accidentally interacting with a malicious smart contract. Hiding does not delete the token from the blockchain (which is impossible), but it ensures they stay out of sight and out of mind.

Step-by-Step

1. Open the Asset Manager

Launch Tonkeeper and scroll to the bottom of your main "Wallet" tab. Tap the "Manage" button (sometimes represented by a list or settings icon depending on your 2026 version).

2. Toggle Visibility for Tokens

You will see a list of all tokens (Jettons) currently held in your wallet. To hide a low-value or spam token, simply tap the "eye" icon or toggle the switch next to the token name. Once greyed out, the token will no longer appear in your main balance view.

3. Hiding Spam NFTs (Collectibles)

If the spam is an NFT, navigate to the "Collectibles" tab. Tap the Settings/Filter icon in the top-right corner. Find the offending item and tap the minus (-) sign. This moves the NFT into a "Hidden" folder.

4. Enabling Safe Mode (Android/Pro)

In 2026, Tonkeeper offers an automated filter. Go to Settings > Security > Safe Mode. Enabling this will automatically hide any tokens that the TON community has flagged as "Unverified" or "Scam," keeping your main screen limited to legitimate assets like TON, USDT, and NOT.

5. Mass-Hiding Dust

If you have dozens of spam tokens, use the "Hide Low Balances" filter within the Manage menu. This will instantly hide any token with a total value of less than $0.01 USD, effectively clearing the "dust" from your interface.

Use Case

The "Phishing NFT" Scenario:

A user sees a beautiful NFT in their wallet titled "Winner_77.ton." The description tells them to visit a website to claim a prize. Recognizing this as a scam, the user doesn't click the link. Instead, they go to Collectibles Settings and hide the NFT. The scam is now gone from their sight, and they are no longer tempted to interact with it.

The Cluttered Dashboard:

After participating in several Telegram mini-apps, a user’s wallet is filled with 15 different tokens they no longer use. By using the Manage toggle, they hide everything except their TON and USDT balances, making it much easier to track their actual spending power at a glance.

Best Results

For the best results in 2026, never attempt to "Send" or "Swap" a token you suspect is spam just to get rid of it. Many spam tokens are "Honeypots" that contain malicious code; interacting with them (even sending them to a burn address) can sometimes trigger a hidden function that attempts to drain your actual Toncoin. The safest path is always to simply Hide them within the Tonkeeper UI. Additionally, periodically check your "Hidden" list to ensure no legitimate new airdrops were caught in the filter by mistake.

FAQ

Does hiding a token get rid of it forever?

No. The token is still technically in your wallet on the blockchain. Hiding only removes it from the Tonkeeper display. If you ever want it back, you can unhide it in the Manage menu.

Are "Unverified" tokens always scams?

Not always. New projects often take time to get the "Verified" checkmark in Tonkeeper. However, if you didn't buy the token and it is unverified, treat it as a scam by default.

Can I "Burn" spam tokens to earn TON?

In 2026, some community "Burner" apps exist, but be extremely cautious. Only use verified services. Most spam tokens have zero value, so burning them won't give you any profit; it only cleans the blockchain record.

Disclaimer

Hiding tokens is a visual management tool and does not provide total immunity from smart contract risks if you choose to interact with the tokens later. Always perform your own research (DYOR) before clicking links in token comments. Tonkeeper is not responsible for assets hidden or displayed. This guide is based on the 2026 Tonkeeper v5.x interface.
