TON Community Approves Renaming Native Token Toncoin to Gram

The Open Network (TON) ecosystem is set to undergo a significant branding transition following a successful community vote regarding its native asset. On June 15, 2026, the cryptocurrency currently known as Toncoin (TON) will be officially renamed to Gram (GRAM). The proposal received an overwhelming 81.22% approval rating from the community, marking a return to the original nomenclature associated with the blockchain’s early development phases.

Technical Implementation and Timeline

The transition is scheduled to take effect at 20:00 (UTC+8) on June 15. While the native token undergoes a rebranding, the underlying infrastructure of The Open Network will remain unchanged. This update is categorized as a "display layer" modification, meaning it affects only the visual representation and naming conventions across the ecosystem.

• The blockchain network will continue to operate under the name TON.
• Token contracts, user balances, and wallet addresses will remain unaffected.
• Existing NFTs, Jettons, staking positions, and DeFi liquidity pools will not require any action from holders.
• The ticker symbol will transition from TON to GRAM across all supported platforms.

Guidelines for Exchanges and Security Warning

External service providers, including centralized exchanges (CEXs), non-custodial wallets, and block explorers, have been instructed to update their front-end interfaces and trading pairs. While the primary change occurs on June 15, the community expects all platforms to achieve consistent display by June 22. This staggered rollout ensures that global liquidity providers have sufficient time to synchronize their databases and UI elements.

TON officials have issued a rigorous security warning to the public regarding potential fraudulent activity during this period. Because the change is purely cosmetic, there is no migration, swap, or claiming process required for investors.

Any platform asking users to "exchange TON for GRAM" or "claim GRAM" is a scam.

The renaming serves as a strategic alignment of the token’s identity with its historical roots while maintaining the operational integrity of the Proof-of-Stake network. Users are advised to exercise caution and rely only on official documentation from the TON Foundation during the transition week.
