What is Gram (prev. Toncoin) (GRAM)?
Toncoin (TON) is the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network, a blockchain with an unusual origin. It was designed by the Telegram messaging app team, led by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, and published in 2018 as part of an ambitious plan to create a fast, scalable blockchain integrated with Telegram. Telegram raised over $1.7 billion in an unregistered token offering before the US Securities and Exchange Commission brought enforcement action, and in 2020 Telegram settled with the SEC and withdrew from the project entirely, returning most of the raised funds to investors.
An independent group of developers then picked up the codebase, relaunched the network as The Open Network, and issued Toncoin through a new fair distribution. The project is now overseen by the TON Foundation, a non-profit organisation separate from Telegram. Despite the legal separation, Telegram has since collaborated with the TON ecosystem: Telegram added a built-in wallet and payments feature that connects to the TON blockchain, and the app has enabled in-app purchases and peer-to-peer transfers denominated in TON, giving the network access to Telegram's several hundred million active users as potential on-ramps.
TON uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism combined with a sharding architecture designed to scale transaction throughput horizontally as demand grows. Its integration with one of the world's most popular messaging apps is its most distinctive characteristic, and price sensitivity to Telegram news is real. In 2024, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov was detained by French authorities in a case related to content moderation on the platform, which caused significant TON price volatility. Regulatory and operational developments around Telegram will continue to affect Toncoin's outlook. TON's native sharding design targets very high transaction throughput, and the ecosystem has seen rapid growth in mini-apps and games built inside Telegram, which has expanded the practical user base well beyond dedicated crypto users. As with all crypto, TON is volatile. This page is information only and is not financial advice; always do your own research.
