The Open Network community has approved a proposal to rename its native token from Toncoin to Gram, with the ticker changing from TON to GRAM after an on-chain vote received 81.22% support. The change takes effect at 12:00 UTC on June 15,\u00a02026.<\/p>\n

This is one of the most significant branding events in crypto in 2026\u200a\u2014\u200aand it comes with a history that goes all the way back to Telegram\u2019s original blockchain ambitions.<\/p>\n

Why Is It Called Gram? The History Behind the\u00a0Name<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name Gram is not new. Originally conceived as \u201cGram\u201d in Telegram\u2019s 2018 whitepaper, the token was later renamed Toncoin following regulatory challenges that forced Telegram to distance itself from the\u00a0project.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Telegram settled with the SEC, agreeing to return more than $1.2 billion to investors and pay an $18.5 million civil penalty over the unregistered Gram offering. Telegram then stepped back, and the project continued through community-led development as The Open Network, with its token widely known as\u00a0Toncoin.<\/p>\n

Now, years later, with the regulatory environment shifted and Telegram back at the centre of the ecosystem, the original name returns. The rebrand is the fourth step in Pavel Durov\u2019s \u201cMake TON Great Again\u201d (MTONGA) initiative and follows Telegram becoming the network\u2019s largest validator in\u00a0May.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Changes\u200a\u2014\u200aand What Does\u00a0Not<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is where most holders get confused. Here is the clear breakdown:<\/p>\n

What changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Token name: Toncoin \u2192\u00a0Gram<\/strong>Ticker symbol: TON \u2192\u00a0GRAM<\/strong>Token logo and\u00a0branding<\/p>\n

What does NOT change:<\/strong> The blockchain itself will continue to operate as The Open Network (TON). No token swap, migration, bridge transfer, or claim process will be required. Existing balances, wallet addresses, staking positions, smart contracts, NFTs, Jettons, and DeFi assets will continue functioning exactly as\u00a0before.<\/p>\n

A wallet balance shown as 10 TON will simply become 10 GRAM once that wallet updates its\u00a0labels.<\/p>\n

Do You Need to Do Anything?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No.<\/strong> The proposal stressed that no migration, token swap, bridge, or contract redeployment is required. \u201cThere is no swap, bridge, claim, or migration,\u201d the document\u00a0stated.<\/p>\n

Timeline of the\u00a0Rebrand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voting took place on the TON Vote platform from June 1 to June 8, 2026. Voting power was determined by participants\u2019 TON balances at a snapshot taken on May 31, 2026. The proposal was submitted by Telegram as a verified organisation and conducted transparently on-chain using open-source smart contracts.<\/p>\n

Exchanges, wallets, and explorers are expected to update trading pairs, asset labels, and user interfaces by June 15, with full consistency targeted by June 22. During a recommended three-month transition period, platforms are advised to display the asset as \u201cGram (prev. Toncoin)\u201d to reduce user confusion before switching to \u201cGram\u201d exclusively.<\/p>\n

Why This Rebrand Is Significant<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rename arrives alongside a broader strategic shift that increasingly places Telegram at the centre of TON\u2019s development roadmap. The proposal states that Telegram is becoming \u201cthe primary driving force behind TON\u201d and is now the network\u2019s largest validator.<\/p>\n

When Pavel Durov first announced the rebrand, TON rose about 15% and trading volume jumped 135%\u200a\u2014\u200asignalling that the market sees the Gram name as a meaningful catalyst, not just a cosmetic\u00a0change.<\/p>\n

The return to Gram is a statement: Telegram and TON are no longer keeping a cautious distance. The original vision is back, and this time it has the infrastructure, community, and regulatory clarity to see it\u00a0through.<\/p>\n

What matters now is understanding the bigger picture\u200a\u2014\u200athe return to Gram closes a significant chapter in the project\u2019s history while opening what many believe could be its most ambitious phase\u00a0yet.<\/p>\n
