🪙 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.

$100,400 just went to the 15 winners of the TON Consensus Challenge.

🧠 The smartest engineers on the planet — some armed with loyal AI sidekicks — helped us maximize the security of the new consensus mechanism.

🏆 Telegram contests offer generous prize money — and the only path to joining our engineering team.

🌍 With 400 validators across 6 continents, TON is one of the most decentralized blockchain networks on the planet.

🧑‍💻 Telegram becoming the largest validator opened the door for major exchanges and custodians to stake TON without increasing centralization risk.

Introducing Acton — a new, modern toolchain for developing smart contracts on TON

Acton covers the full development lifecycle: project creation, testing, debugging, dApp integration, deployment, and verification.

CLI-first by design, it works naturally for both developers and AI agents.

1. One toolchain, not a bunch of utilities
Create, build, test, lint, format, deploy, and verify TON contracts in a single coherent environment around Tolk.

2. A tighter build-test-debug loop
Write tests directly in Tolk programming language, run them fast, debug failed transactions, and inspect what actually happened on-chain.

3. Security built in
Coverage, fuzzing, mutation testing, gas profiling, and CI help catch regressions early.

4. A native debugger
Step in, step over, step out, watch variables, and inspect the call stack. A smooth Web2-style developer experience, now inside a blockchain language.

5. Friendly for AI agents
A modern CLI tool that becomes an agent's runtime, with skills and manuals bundled.

6. IDE integtation
Use it with VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Zed, and other LSP‑based editors.

🫴 TON is #1 in annual staking rewards among the 50 largest cryptocurrencies.

And that’s on top of the coin’s price growth — which doubled over the past week.

🏁 TON leads Layer-1 blockchains in finality time.

💎 Telegram becoming TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization.

✅ It lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with Telegram as the counterbalance.

📈 More and more TON gets locked in validation as everyone competes for 20%+ APR.
