Pavel Durov: The native token of TON has been renamed to Gram, while the blockchain name remains unchanged
Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced on his personal channel that the TON ecosystem has launched a brand upgrade plan, and the name of its native token will be changed from TON to Gram. The team stated that "Gram" was the name given to the native currency in the original white paper of the TON project, and this renaming aims to return to the project's original intention and open a new phase of ecological development.
According to the announcement, this brand transition is expected to be gradually completed over the next three weeks. During the transition period, the relevant infrastructure, wallets, and ecological applications will successively update the token name.
TON emphasized that this adjustment only involves the brand name of the native token, and the TON blockchain network itself will continue to use the name "TON (The Open Network)" without being affected.
The official statement indicated that restoring the native token to Gram is the fourth step in the "Make TON Great Again" seven-step strategy, and more ecological development plans and upgrade measures will be announced in the future.
