🪙 Toncoin Name Change — Community Vote
TON has changed substantially in recent months. Telegram is taking on a leading role in the network and is becoming its largest validator. The chain itself is now 10× faster with fees down 6×. Gram was the name the network's founders gave the token in the original TON White Paper, and it's never left the codebase.
That is why Telegram is proposing to rename the native token from Toncoin to Gram, a fitting moment to bring it forward.
The blockchain stays TON / The Open Network, only the token's name and ticker change. Balances, addresses, contracts, NFTs, staking, DeFi, all unchanged. No swap, bridge, claim, or migration. No action required.
⚠️ Any site, bot, or link asking you to "claim GRAM" or "migrate TON" is a scam.
How the vote works
Runs for one week on TON Vote, an established open DAO platform on TON ▪️ Voting power is weighted by TON balances
