TON's native currency rebrands to Gram, blockchain keeps…

Pavel Durov has announced that TON's native currency will rebrand to Gram, while the underlying blockchain retains the TON name. The move separates the chain's identity from its token, a distinction that matters for exchange listings, wallet integrations, and developer tooling that currently reference both under the same ticker.

The Gram name carries history — it was the original branding Durov's team used before the SEC forced the project's shutdown in 2020. Reviving it signals a deliberate nod to that origin story, now that the network has relaunched independently of Telegram's direct legal exposure.

For holders and traders, the practical question is how quickly centralised exchanges and on-chain infrastructure update their ticker references. A rebrand of this kind typically triggers a wave of contract and listing amendments before the new name fully settles.
