CryptoWorld News reported that Telegram founder Durov announced that the TON network’s native token will return to its original name, Gram. It also reintroduced the brand associated with Telegram’s early blockchain plans. The announcement triggered severe market volatility on June 1, with TON rising 18.75% within 24 hours to $2.19. Durov said that the renaming process is expected to last about three weeks, with no token swap required; user balances, staking positions, and network activity will remain unchanged during this period. This update is considered a brand change rather than a technical migration. The Gram name has a long history in Telegram’s blockchain projects and initially drew broad investor attention with its blockchain initiative. The renaming marks Telegram’s increasingly growing role in the TON ecosystem.

People who invested early in Gram’s private placement will probably feel quite moved seeing this person come back.

Not using tokens for exchange really saves trouble, otherwise you'd have to deal with bridging and contracts again.

Durov is trying to deepen the integration between Telegram and TON.

Switching back from TON to Gram, after all the twists and turns, is it still about staying true to the original intention?
