TON Brings Back โGramโ as Pavel Durov Announces Major Rebrand
Pavel Durov has officially announced that TONโs native currency will be renamed back to โGram,โ reviving the original name from the first TON white paper.
In a message posted on his official Telegram channel, Durov said:
According to the announcement, the move is part of the broader โMake TON Great Againโ roadmap and is described as a return to the projectโs roots. TON will continue to be the name of the blockchain, while the native cryptocurrency is expected to transition from Toncoin to Gram over the next three weeks.
The announcement is significant because Gram was the original cryptocurrency planned for Telegram Open Network (TON) before the project was halted in 2020 following legal action by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Telegram later abandoned the original TON project, refunded investors, and paid an $18.5 million settlement after regulators argued that the Gram token sale constituted an unregistered securities offering.
However, todayโs TON ecosystem operates under a very different structure. After Telegram exited the project, an independent community continued development, eventually launching The Open Network with Toncoin as its native currency. Over the years, Telegram gradually re-integrated TON into its ecosystem through wallets, Mini Apps, digital collectibles, and payment infrastructure.
The #Gram comeback comes only weeks after Durov announced that Telegram would become the primary driving force behind TON and its largest validator, marking one of the deepest integrations between Telegram and the blockchain since the original project was shut down.
While the return of the Gram name revives TONโs original identity, it does not automatically erase the legal issues that stopped the 2020 launch. The SECโs case focused primarily on how the original Gram tokens were sold and distributed, rather than the name itself. For now, the move appears to be a major branding shift and a symbolic return to TONโs original vision.
The transition is expected to take approximately three weeks as TON enters what Durov calls a โnew chapter.โ

GUARD BOT
Guard Bot is a special bot assigned to protect and manage a group or channel, especially around member joins.
What it likely does :
Instead of every bot being treated the same, Telegram now seems to allow a designated "guard" bot that can:
โข Review join requests
โข Verify new members
โข Block spam accounts
โข Run CAPTCHA checks
โข Approve or reject users
โข Enforce community rules

๐ซ The blockages have only distanced Russia from "digital sovereignty".๐ฅ Specialists who could have created an operating system for smartphones in Russia are massively leaving the country in the face of a broken internet.
๐ฑ Without such a system, all applications on smartphones - "national" or "foreign" - remain vulnerable to targeted surveillance and censorship by the US through backdoors and iOS and Android app stores.๐ญ Replacing "foreign" applications with "national" ones while retaining American operating systems is a change of packaging without changing the essence. Painted villages with a hint of corruption.๐ The Russian official who broke the internet and set the country back decades under the pretext of "digital sovereignty" deserves a national security medal - from the US๐บ๐ธ

ยซThe messenger login can be obtained based on a court sanction and tracked through a specialized technical unit to see where the traffic went, which application, social networks, VKONTAKTE, Odnoklassniki, Telegram, WhatsApp. Everything can be obtained based on internet trafficยป.
The same person added that obtaining data on IP and geolocation is difficult because Telegram is a foreign service.

TON Community Approves Gram Rebrand
The TON community has voted to rename Toncoin (TON) to #Gram (GRAM), with 81.2% of votes cast in favor and 18.3% against.
The change affects only the token's name and ticker. The blockchain will remain The Open Network (#TON), and no token swap, migration, or user action is required.
All balances, wallets, smart contracts, and staking positions will remain unchanged, meaning 10 TON will simply become 10 GRAM.
