Toncoin (TON) was officially renamed Gram (GRAM) on 15 June 2026, following a community governance vote that passed with 81.22% support. No token swap, migration, bridge, or claim was required; balances, addresses, smart contracts, staking positions, NFTs, and DeFi assets all carried over automatically. The blockchain itself is still called TON (The Open Network); only the native coin's name, ticker, and logo changed.
The rename was one step in a much larger shift. On 4 May 2026, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced that Telegram would replace the Swiss-based TON Foundation as the network's primary steward and become its largest validator, reversing the separation forced by the SEC settlement that killed Telegram's original Gram token sale in 2020. Both moves sit inside a seven-step roadmap Durov calls MTONGA, short for "Make TON Great Again."
The Open Network is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for consumer scale, with roughly 400-millisecond block times, sub-second finality, and transaction fees around $0.0005 after a sixfold cut. Its structural advantage is distribution: it is embedded in Telegram, an app with over a billion monthly active users. On 31 August 2026, Telegram began rolling out Gram Wallet, a self-custodial wallet built directly into the messenger, which Durov has described as the largest non-custodial wallet rollout ever attempted.
As of early September 2026, GRAM trades near $1.38–$1.40 with a market capitalization around $3.85 billion, ranking roughly #31. That is well below its all-time high of $8.25 and below the $2.80 peak reached during the May takeover rally, a pattern in which each roadmap milestone produces a sharp rally that subsequently fades.
Search results, exchange listings, and older articles use both names, which creates real confusion. Here is the precise breakdown:
Many exchanges and data providers displayed "Gram (prev. Toncoin)" through a three-month transition period to reduce user confusion. If you held TON before 15 June 2026, you hold GRAM now, at the same addresses, with no action required. Anyone asking you to "swap" or "migrate" your TON is running a scam.
The Open Network is a Layer-1 blockchain built around a single obsession: scale for ordinary consumers rather than for crypto natives.
Most blockchains accept a trade-off between decentralization and throughput. TON's architecture was designed from the outset to serve a messaging app with a billion users, which means nearly every design decision bends toward handling enormous volumes of small, cheap, fast transactions. Like Ethereum, it runs smart contracts, but it executes them on its own virtual machine and passes messages between contracts asynchronously, a design choice that enables sharding but makes development meaningfully different from EVM chains.
TON's history is unusual and directly relevant to understanding the 2026 events.
In 2018, Telegram published a whitepaper for a blockchain called Telegram Open Network, with a native token named Gram. The company raised approximately $1.7 billion in a private token sale. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued, arguing the Gram sale constituted an unregistered securities offering. Telegram lost, paid an $18.5 million penalty, returned roughly $1.22 billion to investors, and abandoned the project in May 2020.
An independent group of developers picked up the open-source code and relaunched it as The Open Network, coordinated by the Switzerland-based TON Foundation. The token was renamed Toncoin specifically to distance it from the legally toxic "Gram" name. For roughly five years, Telegram and TON maintained a deliberate, legally motivated distance technically separate, operationally intertwined.
In 2026, that separation ended. Telegram retook operational control in May, and the community voted to restore the original Gram name in June. Six years after regulators buried it, the coin carries the name the SEC had effectively banned.
TON uses a multi-blockchain design: a master chain coordinates the network, with workchains and shardchains beneath it that can split and merge dynamically based on load. When activity spikes, the network shards further; when it quiets, shards merge back. This is the mechanism intended to keep fees low and confirmation fast even under consumer-scale bursts.
Smart contracts communicate asynchronously via message passing rather than synchronous calls. This makes sharding tractable, but it also means developers cannot assume a contract call returns immediately, a genuine learning curve for teams arriving from Ethereum.
The consensus upgrade that went live on mainnet on 9 April 2026 was the most consequential technical change in the network's history. Block production time fell from roughly 2.5 seconds to about 400 milliseconds. Transaction settlement collapsed from roughly 10 seconds to about 1 second. Estimated throughput rose approximately tenfold.
Durov has publicly compared TON's finality favorably against Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Sui, though such comparisons depend heavily on how each network defines finality. The more defensible claim is that TON now sits in the same speed tier as the fastest production layer 1s for everyday payment use, rather than trailing them.
Catchain 2.0 carried a significant economic side effect, covered in the tokenomics section below.
Fungible tokens on TON are called "jettons" (the equivalent of Ethereum's ERC-20). NFTs follow TON's own standard. Both are designed around the same sharding-friendly asynchronous model as the rest of the chain.
TON's most distinctive product surface is Telegram Mini Apps, full applications that run inside Telegram chats without requiring a separate download. A user can open a game, a DeFi interface, a marketplace, or a payment tool directly in the messenger, with wallet connectivity already present. This is the mechanism by which TON converts Telegram's distribution into on-chain activity, and it is the reason TON's transaction counts periodically rival much larger chains: the network processed roughly 1.5 billion transactions in Q1 2026, with about 67 million in April alone.
Gas: Every transaction: a transfer, a Jetton swap, a Mini App interaction, or a smart contract call, consumes GRAM.
Staking: GRAM secures the network through proof of stake. Validators stake directly; ordinary holders can delegate through nominator pools.
Telegram Stars: Telegram's in-app currency for digital goods and creator tools connects to the GRAM economy.
Telegram Premium: Subscriptions can be paid in GRAM.
DeFi: Base asset across TON-native protocols, including STON.fi and DeDust.
Telegram Collectibles: Usernames and digital gifts, purchasable through Gram Wallet.
Governance: Holders vote on network proposals; the rebrand vote is the highest-profile recent example.
GRAM has no hard cap. New coins are issued continuously as validator rewards.
Here is the detail most summaries miss, and it matters. Before Catchain 2.0, annual inflation ran at approximately 0.6% unusually low for a Proof-of-Stake chain. Because Catchain 2.0 produces blocks roughly six times more frequently, and validators are rewarded per block, the same reward schedule now generates far more issuance. Projected annual inflation rose from roughly 0.6% to approximately 3.6%.
That is a sixfold increase in dilution, arriving as a side effect of a speed upgrade rather than as a deliberate monetary decision. It triggered a governance response: validators were asked to vote on reducing per-block rewards, with proposals to cut masterchain rewards from 1.7 to 0.35 per block and main network rewards from 1 to 0.2 per block, preserving the speed gain while limiting supply dilution.
Partially offsetting the issuance, roughly 50% of transaction fees are burned, sent to a black-hole address and permanently removed from circulation. Some validator-slashing proceeds are also burned. Net inflation after burn is reported in the low single digits, and some dashboards show figures closer to the old 0.6% baseline. GRAM is therefore best described as structurally inflationary with a partial deflationary offset rather than as a fixed-supply asset.
The inflation increase had an immediate upside for stakers. Network-wide gross staking yield rose from roughly 0.34% in March 2026 to 1.39% in April 2026, an approximately fourfold month-on-month jump translating to roughly 16.7% annualized, reportedly the highest staking APR among the top 50 cryptocurrencies at the time.
The mechanism is straightforward: the effective staking reward rate equals the inflation rate divided by the staking participation ratio. With roughly 1.2 billion GRAM staked out of a much larger supply, around 9% participation, the rate per staked coin is high. As more GRAM enters the staking set, that rate compresses toward equilibrium. Anyone attracted by a headline APR figure should understand it is a function of low participation and will fall as participation rises.
TON's central investment thesis is distribution. No other Layer 1 has a built-in funnel of a billion monthly active users. Acquiring users is the hardest, most expensive problem in consumer crypto, and TON's answer is that the users are already there, they simply need the blockchain surfaced inside an app they open daily.
Since May 2026 that relationship has been formalized rather than implied. Telegram is now the network's largest validator and its primary development force.
The bull case is structural. Payment rails inside a messenger, mini apps with zero install friction, a self-custodial wallet enabled by default, and Telegram Stars connecting creator monetization to the chain. If even a small fraction of Telegram's base transacts on-chain regularly, the volume dwarfs most competing ecosystems.
The bear case is equally structural. Concentrating validator weight, brand control, and technical leadership in a single corporate entity is a clear departure from the decentralized model the TON Foundation was created to represent. A chain whose largest validator, primary developer, and distribution channel are all the same private company has a different risk profile than one governed by a distributed community regardless of how well that company executes.
There is also key-person risk. Pavel Durov's personal legal exposure, including proceedings in France, is a live variable for a network in which he is now the central decision-maker.
GRAM trades on most major exchanges. Note that some venues still display "TON" or "Gram (prev. Toncoin)."
Choose a venue. Binance, OKX, KuCoin, Bybit, MEXC, Gate.io, Bitget, and others list GRAM spot pairs. TON-native DEXs include STON.fi and DeDust.
Complete KYC and confirm the exchange serves your jurisdiction.
Fund the account with fiat or stablecoins.
Place a market or limit order on GRAM/USDT.
Self-custody. Options include Gram Wallet inside Telegram, Tonkeeper, and MyTonWallet. Only send GRAM to a TON-network address; sending to an Ethereum or BNB Chain address will lose the funds.
Stake if you want yield. Delegate through a nominator pool or a liquid staking provider. Understand that advertised APRs move inversely with staking participation.
Centralization: Telegram is the largest validator, primary developer, and brand owner. This is the defining structural risk.
Key-person exposure: Durov's legal situation and personal centrality to the project.
Inflation increase: From 0.6% to 3.6% annually as a side effect of Catchain 2.0, partially offset by the 50% fee burn and subject to governance adjustment.
Rally-and-fade pattern: Each MTONGA milestone has produced a sharp price rally that subsequently faded, because upgrades have built capability without yet producing durable revenue or adoption growth.
Self-custody risk at scale: Gram Wallet gives non-custodial keys to a billion-user base that includes many people with no crypto experience on a platform already heavily targeted by scammers. A SIM swap or compromised account can result in irreversible loss with no support line to appeal to.
Regulatory history: The Gram name itself was the subject of an SEC enforcement action. Restoring it is symbolically bold and not without risk.
Execution dependency: The thesis now rests almost entirely on Telegram delivering. A failure to convert wallet distribution into transaction revenue would invalidate the structural case.
Competition: Solana, Base, and others compete directly for consumer payment and app activity.
No hard supply cap: Issuance continues indefinitely.
The year's transformation began with a consensus upgrade rather than an announcement. Catchain 2.0 went live on mainnet, cutting block production from roughly 2.5 seconds to about 400 milliseconds, collapsing transaction settlement from around 10 seconds to about 1 second, and lifting estimated throughput roughly tenfold.
Durov simultaneously began publishing a roadmap on his Telegram channel under the deliberately provocative name Make TON Great Again (MTONGA), a seven-step plan to upgrade the network and fuse it to Telegram.
The sequencing was strategic. Durov did not open with the governance takeover; he opened with the technical case. Catchain 2.0 made TON viable as a settlement layer for high-frequency consumer activity, which retroactively justified everything that followed.
Step two landed within weeks. Transaction fees fell approximately sixfold to around $0.0005 a fraction of a cent. Combined with sub-second finality, this gave TON the two properties a consumer payment network requires: users should never have to think about speed or cost.
Step three was the announcement that reframed the entire asset. Durov posted that Telegram would replace the TON Foundation as the driving force behind The Open Network and become its largest validator.
The market response was immediate and violent. Toncoin jumped between 23% and 36% within 24 hours depending on the measurement window, hitting a four-month high as trading volume spiked 324% to $309 million. Over the following days the token ran from roughly $1.30 toward $2.80. On 7 May it posted a 32% intraday gain, pushing market capitalization to approximately $7.6 billion and briefly flipping Chainlink before retracing.
The significance went beyond governance mechanics. This was Telegram formally fusing roughly a billion monthly active users to a single blockchain, creating structural demand that had not existed under a community-run foundation. Durov framed the validator move as strengthening rather than weakening decentralization, arguing that Telegram's participation would draw other major validators into the pool with Telegram as a counterbalance, and noting competition for staking yields above 20% APR.
Sceptics read it differently. Concentrating validator weight, brand control and technical leadership in one private company is a departure from the model the TON Foundation existed to represent however capable that company is. When asked on social media whether glory days lay ahead, Durov's reply was a single word: inevitable.
The move also carried historical weight. It reversed the SEC-forced retreat of 2020, in which Telegram lost its case, paid an $18.5 million penalty, returned $1.22 billion to investors, and walked away from a network it had raised $1.7 billion to build.
The TON Foundation confirmed that the legacy Token Bridge (bridge-v3.ton.org) would permanently close on 1 September 2026, giving users roughly three months to withdraw bridged assets. All percentage-based transfer fees were waived for the remaining window, and the protocol covered fees for unclaimed transfers.
Bridge oracles withdrew their staked TON in June as the first visible phase of the shutdown, while continuing to process transfers until the deadline. Any assets left in bridged form after 1 September became inaccessible.
The Foundation framed the retirement as a sign of maturity, TON's native DeFi infrastructure had outgrown the legacy bridge. For affected users it was a hard deadline with permanent consequences.
Telegram, participating as a verified organization, proposed renaming Toncoin to Gram. Voting ran on the TON Vote platform from 1 to 8 June, with voting power based on TON balances captured in a 31 May snapshot and the process executed through open-source on-chain smart contracts.
The proposal passed with 81.22% of participating voting power in support.
The accompanying documentation was unusually explicit about what would not change: no swap, no bridge, no claim, no migration. It also stated plainly that Telegram was becoming the primary driving force behind TON and was now the network's largest validator, tying that shift to recent improvements in throughput, finality and fees.
At 12:00 UTC on 15 June 2026, the ticker switched from TON to GRAM. Six years after U.S. regulators effectively buried the name, the coin carried it again.
Durov noted that the rebrand reintroduced the name from Telegram's 2018 whitepaper, abandoned as a consequence of SEC action. Exchanges including KuCoin and MEXC facilitated the display transition, and projects were advised to show "prev. Toncoin" alongside the new name for a three-month period to reduce user confusion.
TON Strategy Company (Nasdaq: TONX), a digital asset treasury company that accumulates and stakes GRAM, publicly highlighted the change. CEO Kevin Wilson framed it as an identity milestone moving the ecosystem toward a more intuitive currency identity, and noted Telegram's increasingly direct role in the technical roadmap. TONX's Nasdaq ticker was unchanged. At the time its shares traded around $3.48, up 58% year to date but still roughly 88% below a 52-week high of $29.77.
The price reaction was muted and then negative. Toncoin traded around $1.71 on 10 June, down 4.92% on the day and 13% on the week. By mid-June, Gram sat near $1.67. The rename changed nothing mechanical, and the market priced it accordingly.
Catchain 2.0's economic side effect became a governance issue through June. Because faster block production generates more frequent validator rewards, projected annual inflation rose from roughly 0.6% to approximately 3.6%.
Validators were asked to vote on reducing per-block rewards proposals included cutting masterchain rewards from 1.7 to 0.35 per block and main network rewards from 1 to 0.2 per block with the aim of preserving the speed gain while limiting dilution. The TON Foundation stated that rewards would settle at a new equilibrium as staking participation grew.
Institutional analysis published in June noted that after netting off the roughly 50% fee burn, effective net inflation remained in the low single digits, with some dashboards still showing figures near the old 0.6% baseline. Approximately 1.2 billion GRAM, around 9% of total supply, was staked. The upgrade had pushed network-wide gross staking yield from 0.34% in March to 1.39% in April roughly 16.7% annualized, reportedly the highest APR among the top 50 cryptocurrencies.
Durov announced that Telegram would build a native, non-custodial Gram Wallet into every Telegram app, targeting its billion-plus users with instant, zero-fee transactions. He described it as the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history.
The strategic logic is significant. Most crypto onboarding fails at the wallet step, downloading an app, writing down a seed phrase, and funding an account. Telegram's proposition is to eliminate that step entirely by making the wallet a default setting in an app people already have open.
Commentators noted the parallel with Coinbase, which has pursued embedded self-custodial wallets from the developer side. The difference is reach: Coinbase's version arrives only through apps that choose to integrate it, while Telegram's switches on by default across its own billion-plus accounts.
The announcement also left open questions about what would happen to the existing @wallet bot and how zero-fee transactions would be funded.
Durov confirmed that Gram Wallet was live inside Telegram for a limited set of users, with access expanding gradually. The wallet is self-custodial, meaning users hold their own keys Telegram cannot access them, reverse a transaction, or restore a lost account.
Key features:
Becomes the default wallet in Telegram user settings
Fee-free transfers and in-app payments
Purchase of Telegram Collectibles including usernames and digital gifts
Built on a smart contract architecture approved by TON validators, designed for forward-compatible upgrades so future improvements will not force users to manually migrate funds
That last point matters more than it sounds. Manual migrations are a recurring source of both friction and phishing risk; designing them out reduces a significant attack surface for a user base that includes many crypto newcomers.
The older custodial service, Wallet in Telegram, is being rebranded as Walt, moved behind search, and refocused on trading and multichain services.
Market reaction: GRAM rose roughly 8% to about $1.45 before retracing to near $1.40, with trading volume up between 137% and 168%, reaching approximately $119.63 million. The rollout landed about ten weeks after the Gram rebrand.
The Token Bridge shut down as scheduled. Assets not withdrawn became inaccessible.
As of 5–8 September 2026, GRAM trades around $1.38–$1.40 with a market capitalization near $3.85 billion and a rank around #31. Twenty-four-hour volume sits near $38 million a fraction of the $309 million recorded during the May takeover spike. Technical commentary notes the token remains below key moving averages, with resistance near $1.40.
The comparison that matters: GRAM trades roughly 50% below the $2.80 peak reached in early May, and roughly 83% below its $8.25 all-time high despite four of seven roadmap steps having shipped, transaction fees having fallen sixfold, block times having improved by roughly 6x, Telegram having taken direct control, and a self-custodial wallet reaching a billion-user base.
The most useful analytical observation about TON in 2026 is this: each roadmap step produces a sharp price rally that subsequently fades.
Catchain 2.0 rallied and faded. The takeover announcement produced a 36% day and a run to $2.80, then faded. The rebrand produced a brief move, then declined. The Gram Wallet rollout produced an 8% pop, then retraced within hours.
The reason is not that the upgrades are insignificant. It is that they build capability without yet producing durable adoption or revenue. Faster blocks, cheaper fees and a default wallet are necessary conditions for consumer-scale payments. They are not sufficient. Until on-chain transaction volume and fee revenue grow structurally rather than episodically, each announcement functions as a trading catalyst rather than a re-rating event.
That is the single clearest thing to watch through the remainder of 2026.
Telegram's approach in 2026 differs sharply from typical crypto marketing:
MTONGA as a public roadmap. Publishing a named, sequenced, seven-step plan directly on a personal Telegram channel with roughly a billion potential readers is an unusually effective distribution mechanism. Each step arrives as news rather than as a press release.
Product-led rather than incentive-led. There has been no large airdrop campaign or points program driving the 2026 narrative. The growth mechanism is default distribution: the wallet simply appears in settings.
Institutional surface. TON Strategy Company (Nasdaq: TONX) provides a public-equity vehicle for GRAM exposure and amplifies ecosystem announcements to traditional-finance audiences.
Identity as strategy. The Gram restoration is a marketing act at heart reconnecting the coin to Telegram's original vision and, implicitly, framing the SEC episode as something the project has now outgrown.
Infrastructure signalling. Telegram's ICANN application for the .gram The top-level domain suggests ambitions extending beyond the token itself.
Steps 5–7 of MTONGA, which remain incompletely detailed likely candidates include further consensus improvements, developer tooling and a redesigned ton.org.
Gram Wallet full rollout across the billion-plus user base, and more importantly actual usage rates rather than distribution numbers.
TON Pay 2.0, the Layer-2 payments upgrade targeted for delivery.
TON Teleport Bridge, a trustless bridge intended to bring Bitcoin liquidity into TON.
The inflation vote outcome and whether issuance settles closer to 0.6% or 3.6%.
Transaction revenue growth, the metric that would convert capability into a durable re-rating.
Wallet security incidents. Handing self-custody to a billion non-expert users on a platform already targeted by scammers is a genuine tail risk, and a high-profile loss event would be damaging.
The Foundation transition audit, showing how cleanly Telegram absorbed the Foundation's responsibilities and whether the decentralization trade-off was managed or ignored.

TON in 2026 is the clearest live experiment in whether consumer-scale crypto can grow through an existing app rather than by convincing people to download a new one. The technical foundations are now genuinely in place: sub-second finality, fees measured in hundredths of a cent, and a self-custodial wallet arriving by default in an app with more than a billion monthly users. No competing Layer 1 has that distribution.
What has not yet arrived is proof that distribution converts. Four of seven roadmap steps have shipped, and GRAM trades roughly 50% below its May peak and 83% below its all-time high. Every milestone has rallied and faded, because capability is not the same thing as adoption. The upgrades made TON able to serve a billion users; they have not yet demonstrated that a billion users want to be served.
The trade-off is equally explicit. Telegram's control delivered corporate-speed execution the Foundation era never produced, Catchain 2.0 in April, fee cuts in May, validator takeover in May, rebrand in June, and wallet in August. It also concentrated validator weight, development authority, and brand control in a single private company led by a founder with live legal exposure. Investors are being asked to accept meaningful centralization in exchange for meaningful execution.
For anyone researching Toncoin or Gram, the most useful next steps are tracking on-chain transaction and fee revenue rather than announcements, watching Gram Wallet's active usage rather than its rollout percentage, and following the inflation vote outcome three metrics that will show whether 2026's capability translates into 2027's adoption.
Yes. Toncoin was renamed Gram on 15 June 2026 following a governance vote with 81.22% support. It is the same coin, same addresses, same balances. Only the name, ticker and logo changed.
No. No swap, migration, bridge, claim or conversion was required. Balances, addresses, smart contracts, staking positions, NFTs and DeFi assets all carried over automatically. Anyone asking you to swap tokens is attempting a scam.
Gram was the coin's original name in Telegram's 2018 whitepaper. It was changed to Toncoin after the SEC forced Telegram to abandon the project in 2020. With Telegram resuming direct control in May 2026, the community voted to restore the original name.
Yes. The Open Network (TON) remains the blockchain's name. Only the native coin was renamed.
TON is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for consumer-scale throughput, with dynamic sharding, roughly 400ms block times, sub-second finality, and fees around $0.0005. It is deeply integrated with Telegram.
Telegram. On 4 May 2026, Pavel Durov announced Telegram would replace the TON Foundation as the network's primary steward and become its largest validator. The chain remains technically permissionless with other validators operating.
"Make TON Great Again," Durov's seven-step roadmap launched 9 April 2026. Four steps have shipped: Catchain 2.0, the sixfold fee cut, the Telegram validator takeover, and the Gram rebrand.
The consensus upgrade that went live 9 April 2026, cutting block times from 2.5 seconds to 400 milliseconds and finality from 10 seconds to 1 second, with roughly 10x throughput improvement.
Catchain 2.0 produces blocks about six times more frequently, and validators are rewarded per block. Same reward schedule, more blocks, more issuance pushing projected annual inflation from 0.6% to 3.6%.
Telegram's native self-custodial wallet, rolled out to selected users from 31 August 2026 and becoming the default wallet in Telegram settings. It supports fee-free transfers, in-app payments, and purchases of Telegram Collectibles. Durov described it as the largest non-custodial wallet rollout in history.
The rebranded version of the older custodial "Wallet in Telegram" service, now moved behind search and focused on trading and multichain functionality.
As of early September 2026, GRAM trades near $1.38–$1.40 with a market capitalization around $3.85 billion, ranking roughly #31. Prices change constantly check a live tracker.
$8.25. The all-time low was $0.52.
Yes, through validators, nominator pools or liquid staking providers. Yields spiked to roughly 16.7% annualised in April 2026 following Catchain 2.0, though rates compress as staking participation grows.
Full applications running inside Telegram chats without a separate download, with wallet connectivity built in. They are TON's primary mechanism for converting Telegram's user base into on-chain activity.
TON's fungible token standard, equivalent to Ethereum's ERC-20.
That depends on your view of whether Telegram converts distribution into durable transaction revenue, and your tolerance for centralization risk. The pattern so far is that roadmap milestones produce rallies that fade. This article does not provide investment advice.
