# BTC Teleport (https://docs-i0yym09dy-ton-core-docs.vercel.app/llms/ecosystem/nodes/cpp/mytonctrl/btc-teleport/content.md)



## Operational notes [#operational-notes]

* Teleport installation happens automatically when validator mode is enabled unless `btcTeleportDisabled` is set. Use these commands to check governance participation or clean up.
* Voting attaches 1.5 TON from the validator wallet. Ensure the wallet has sufficient balance before sending votes.
* The module caches proposals it has voted on (`saveOffersBtcTeleport`) to avoid duplicate submissions.

## `remove_btc_teleport` [#remove_btc_teleport]

**Purpose:** Uninstall the Teleport binaries, keystore, and system service.

**Syntax**

```mytonctrl
remove_btc_teleport [--force]
```

<Callout type="caution">
  `--force` removes Teleport binaries and service configuration.
  Risk: loss of Teleport state; service downtime.
  Scope: this node’s Teleport installation (binaries, keystore, systemd unit).
  Rollback/Mitigation: reinstall Teleport or restore from a backup of `/usr/src/ton-teleport-btc-periphery` and related configs.
  Environment: applies to both TON Testnet and TON Mainnet nodes.
</Callout>

**Behavior**

* Runs `scripts/remove_btc_teleport.sh` to delete the Teleport repository (`/usr/src/ton-teleport-btc-periphery`), keystore, and systemd service.
* By default, it refuses to run if the validator is currently a masterchain participant. Use `--force` only when the node is not producing masterchain blocks or after exiting the validator set.
* Prints an error if the removal script fails.

**Example**

```mytonctrl
remove_btc_teleport --force
```
