Abstract generation in progress
Mars Finance News, according to The Block, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced that The Open Network (TON)'s native cryptocurrency will be renamed Gram, restoring the name from the project's original white paper as part of its "Make TON Great Again" initiative. Durov stated that this is a "return to the roots and the start of a new chapter." TON will remain the blockchain name, with Gram becoming the native currency name, and the transition period will last about three weeks. This renaming is the fourth step in Durov's MTONGA plan, following previously completed steps including network upgrades (called "ten times faster"), reducing transaction fees by about six times, and announcing that Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the main manager and largest validator of the ecosystem. The name Gram was originally chosen by the Telegram blockchain project for its native cryptocurrency; Telegram launched the project in 2018, abandoned it in 2020 due to SEC litigation, and independent developers took over to continue development under the TON name.

Ten times faster speed and six times lower cost, this move is good, waiting for Gram to launch.

Gram this name is indeed much easier to remember than TON Coin, returning to the original intention +1
