Toncoin Becomes Gram in Revival of Original Name

Toncoin is rebranding as Gram in an effort to revive its original name tied to Telegram's early blockchain plans. The change is part of Pavel Durov's 'Make TON Great Again' roadmap, a seven-step plan to reshape the network's place within Telegram and the wider crypto market.

The transition from Toncoin to Gram is expected to take about three weeks. During this time, the TON blockchain will keep its name as the underlying infrastructure, while Gram will become the label for the asset used across the network.

This rebranding effort aims to separate the blockchain's identity from its currency and marks a return to the project's roots. The Gram name has deep history in the ecosystem, dating back to Telegram's original plans to issue a token called Gram.
