Most token rebrands feel like marketing stunts. New logo, new website, but nothing really changes This one is different.
The Open Network community just voted to rename Toncoin (TON) to Gram (GRAM) and honestly? I think it’s brilliant Why? Because “Gram” isn’t a random new name. It’s a callback to Telegram’s original blockchain vision. For those who’ve been here since 2019 2020, Gram was the dream token. The one regulators stopped.
Now, the community is reviving it not Telegram, but us.That’s powerful.
What Happened?
On June 8, 2026, the TON Vote closed with a clear result:
✅ 81.22% voted FOR the rename
❌ 18.78% voted against
So starting June 15, 2026 at 12:00 UTC:

Why This Matters (My Opinion)
Rebrands usually confuse people. But here? The community voted. No team forced anything That’s rare in crypto.And “Gram” carries history. It reminds us that The Open Network started as Telegram’s hopeful leap into Web3. When regulators crushed that dream, the community rebuilt it from scratch without Telegram.
Renaming to Gram isn’t going backward. It’s honoring the original vision while keeping the network fully decentralized.
Will price react? Maybe short term confusion. But long term? Strong branding with emotional weight usually wins.
⚠️ Remember
. No action needed from you.
· If anyone asks you to “migrate” or “connect your wallet to claim new GRAM” – it’s a scam.
· Your TON wallet still works. Only the name and ticker change.
Closing Thought
Crypto is full of copy paste projects. This rename feels different. It feels like a community saying: “We remember where we came from, and we’re proud of it.”
Gram is back. Not because a company said so, but because thousands of holders voted for it.That’s decentralization in action.
