Yes, if you are building on TON Blockchain and need Python 3.7–3.9 support. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, verify the license status before use in proprietary projects, and confirm that the fork's feature set meets your needs relative to the original upstream package.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.7; the fork extends compatibility to 3.7–3.9, which the original package did not support.
- Low install friction; pure Python wheel.
- Active maintenance as of 2026-03-02.

What it is and what it does
pytoniq-core-fork is a Python SDK for working with TON Blockchain data structures and cryptography. It provides low-level primitives for serializing and deserializing TON cells (the fundamental data unit), handling addresses, performing cryptographic operations (key generation, signing, verification), and verifying Merkle proofs. The package also includes TL-schema (de)serialization and wrappers for common TON blockchain schemes.
This fork extends the original pytoniq-core to support Python 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, whereas the upstream package requires Python 3.10 or later. It is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities. The package is designed for developers building TON blockchain applications, wallets, or tools that need to work with TON's native data formats and cryptographic operations.
Use it for
- Building TON blockchain wallets or transaction signers that need to serialize cells and manage cryptographic keys.
- Verifying Merkle proofs for TON blockchain state validation or light-client implementations.
- Parsing and constructing TON smart contract messages using TL-schema serialization.
- Generating TON addresses and mnemonics for account creation and key management.
- Integrating TON blockchain interaction into Python applications targeting older Python versions (3.7–3.9).

Before you install
Low install friction; pure Python wheel. Active maintenance as of 2026-03-02. Depends on six cryptographic and utility libraries (bitarray, x25519, PyNaCl, pycryptodomex, requests, typing_extensions), all common and well-maintained.
Requires Python >= 3.7; the fork extends compatibility to 3.7–3.9, which the original package did not support.
