Toncoin officially adopted the Gram name on June 15 2026 after a community vote secured 81.22 % approval, and its ticker switched from TON to $GRAM.
Rebranding Mechanics
The token’s rebranding did not alter the underlying blockchain, which continues to operate as The Open Network. Holders of the former Toncoin experience no migration, swap, or contract change; only the token label, ticker symbol, and logo were updated.
Community participants cast votes through the TON governance portal, and the 81.22 % majority triggered the on‑chain amendment that renamed the asset. The change took effect instantly, preserving the existing supply and market depth.
Historical Context
The Gram moniker resurfaced after a six‑year absence that began when regulators forced Telegram to abandon its original cryptocurrency project in 2020. That dispute culminated in a U.S. court order requiring a $1.2 billion refund to investors.
Since then, the Open Network has evolved independently, maintaining its fast transaction speeds and low fees while awaiting the opportunity to revive the Gram brand. The recent vote marks the culmination of that long‑standing effort.
Implications for Investors and the Crypto Market
Crypto investors must update wallet labels to reflect the $GRAM ticker, but the token’s price and liquidity remain unchanged because the underlying asset did not move. Market trackers will display Gram instead of Toncoin, simplifying brand recognition.
Analysts anticipate that the restored Gram identity could attract renewed attention from both retail participants and institutional investors, potentially boosting the blockchain’s visibility without altering its technical fundamentals.
