# Overview

> Python SDK for the TON blockchain — wallets, contracts, and more via ADNL and HTTP APIs.

**Tonutils** is a high-level, object-oriented Python SDK for the TON blockchain. It provides wallets, transfers, smart contracts, and on-chain tools over both native lite servers (ADNL) and popular HTTP API providers.

<Info>
  Looking for versions below 2.0? The [legacy documentation](https://old-tonutils.ness.uz) is still available.

<Tip>
  For a better understanding of TON internal architecture and core principles, review the [official TON documentation](https://docs.ton.org).

## Features

* **Providers** — HTTP APIs ([Toncenter](https://toncenter.com), [Tonapi](https://tonapi.io), [Chainstack](https://chainstack.com), [QuickNode](https://www.quicknode.com), [Tatum](https://tatum.io)) and native ADNL lite clients, plus balancers with automatic failover for both.
* **Wallets** — create, import, and deploy all standard wallet versions (V1–V5, Highload, Preprocessed).
* **Transfers** — TON, jettons, and NFTs, including batch, gasless, and encrypted transfers.
* **Contracts** — deploy, mint, and manage jetton, NFT, and DNS contracts.
* **Tools** — block scanner, lite server and DHT status monitors, and a CLI.

<Note>
  TON Connect is no longer part of tonutils. It lives in the separate [`ton-connect`](https://pypi.org/project/ton-connect/) package, documented in the [TON Connect](/ton-connect) section of this site.
