Toncoin\u2019s native token has rebranded to \u2018Gram\u2019 as part of the latest step in Pavel Durov\u2019s \u201cMake TON Great Again\u201d roadmap.<\/p>\n

Toncoin\u2019s Native Token Is Now Called Gram<\/h2>\n

In a new post<\/a> on Telegram, Pavel Durov has shared details related to a rebranding of the native token of the Toncoin<\/a> network. The asset is set to see a name change to Gram, with the transition period expected to take about three weeks.<\/p>\n

Durov is the co-founder and CEO of Telegram, and one of the biggest backers of TON. In the blockchain\u2019s early days, its full form even stood for the Telegram Open Network, with the Telegram team handling its development. Telegram\u2019s official involvement with the token, however, ended back in 2020 following a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After 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\u2019t break all ties. In 2023, Telegram integrated a wallet based on the blockchain to its official app.<\/p>\n

Durov himself also remained a supporter of the project. This year, the Telegram CEO kickstarted the \u201cMake TON Great Again\u201d (MTONGA) initiative, which is going to have a total of seven steps. The first two steps of the roadmap went into action in April and provided upgrades<\/a> to the network\u2019s transaction speed and fees.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s largest validator.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelegram becoming TON\u2019s largest validator strengthens decentralization,\u201d said Durov in an X post<\/a> a day after announcing the move. \u201cIt lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network \u2014 with Telegram as the counterbalance.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s native token, will bring back the asset\u2019s original name from its first white paper. The new website for the token provides a teaser of a fresh logo for the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

\"TON<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re returning to our roots \u2014 and starting a new chapter,\u201d noted the Telegram co-founder. \u201cThis rebranding will pave the way for what comes next.\u201d There are three more steps left in the MTONGA roadmap, but it only remains to be seen what they will bring to the network.<\/p>\n

Gram Price<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Gram is trading around $2.02, up over 5% in the last seven days.<\/p>\n
