Toncoin’s native token has rebranded to ‘Gram’ as part of the latest step in Pavel Durov’s “Make TON Great Again” roadmap.
Toncoin’s Native Token Is Now Called GramAfter Telegram pulled out, the ecosystem rebranded itself to The Open Network and development was handed off to independent contributors. While the messaging giant ended its involvement in the project, it didn’t break all ties. In 2023, Telegram integrated a wallet based on the blockchain to its official app.
The third step, announced in early May, saw Telegram officially re-enter the picture after a six-year absence, replacing the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the ecosystem. The messaging company also became the network’s largest validator.
Now, the Telegram co-founder has unveiled the rebrand to the name Gram as the fourth checkpoint in the MTONGA plan. This change, which only applies to the blockchain’s native token, will bring back the asset’s original name from its first white paper. The new website for the token provides a teaser of a fresh logo for the cryptocurrency.
“We’re returning to our roots — and starting a new chapter,” noted the Telegram co-founder. “This rebranding will pave the way for what comes next.” There are three more steps left in the MTONGA roadmap, but it only remains to be seen what they will bring to the network.
Gram PriceAt the time of writing, Gram is trading around $2.02, up over 5% in the last seven days.
