Gram exTON (GRAM) Exchange

GRAM is the native coin of The Open Network – a high-throughput blockchain that grew from Telegram's original ambitions for decentralized payments. The name itself has come full circle: the asset was called Gram in Telegram's 2018 whitepaper, renamed Toncoin when the community took over the project after a regulatory battle with U.S. authorities, and officially renamed back to Gram on June 15, 2026, following a community governance vote that passed with 81.22% approval. The blockchain is still called TON (The Open Network). Only the coin that runs on it changed its label. If you owned Toncoin before the switch, you hold Gram now — same wallet, same address, same balance.

For anyone looking to exchange this asset, that recent history matters practically: you may see it listed as TON, Toncoin, or GRAM depending on how recently a particular platform updated its display. The underlying asset is the same in all cases.

What Is Gram exTON (GRAM)?

The Open Network was designed for real throughput from the start. It uses dynamic sharding — the chain automatically splits into parallel workchains under load and merges back when traffic drops — and after the Catchain 2.0 protocol upgrade in April 2026, transaction finality dropped to under one second. Network fees fell with it: a standard GRAM transfer now costs roughly $0.0005, and unlike Ethereum, that figure doesn't spike during periods of high activity. Fees on TON are fixed regardless of network congestion.

GRAM is what makes the network run. Every transaction on TON — a direct transfer, a Jetton token swap, a mini-app interaction, a smart contract call — consumes a small amount of GRAM for gas. Beyond gas, the token is used for staking to secure the network through Proof-of-Stake consensus, purchasing Telegram Stars (the in-app currency for digital goods and creator tools), paying for Telegram Premium subscriptions, and participating in TON-native DeFi protocols like STON.fi and DeDust.

The supply isn't hard-capped. New GRAM enters circulation as validator rewards at roughly 3.6% annual inflation — higher than it was before the Catchain upgrade, because faster block production generates more reward events. Telegram became the network's largest validator in May 2026 as part of the broader Make TON Great Again (MTONGA) roadmap that preceded the rebrand.

Why People Swap Gram

The exchange traffic around GRAM runs in both directions, and the motivations are fairly distinct depending on which way someone is moving.

Moving into GRAM usually means entering the TON ecosystem — buying exposure to stake for yield, funding a Telegram wallet for peer-to-peer transfers, paying for Telegram Premium directly on-chain, or acquiring gas to interact with TON-based DeFi and mini-apps. Users coming from Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins convert specifically to activate the network's utilities. Someone paying a Telegram channel ad fee in GRAM or tipping a creator through a mini-app is doing exactly this.

Moving out of GRAM is just as common. Taking profits into USDT or USDC is the standard move for traders who want to de-risk a position without fully leaving crypto. Others rotate from GRAM into BTC or ETH as part of broader portfolio rebalancing — the TON/BTC and TON/ETH pairs have historically been high-liquidity directions on aggregators for this reason.
There's also a purely technical motivation: TON requires a small GRAM balance in any wallet to pay network fees, even if you're only moving Jetton tokens (USDT-TON, NOT, or similar). Holders who accumulate Jettons through airdrops or DeFi rewards sometimes find their wallet frozen because they don't have enough GRAM for gas. Swapping a small amount of another asset into GRAM just to unlock outbound transfers is a real, recurring use case.

Technical Notes for Exchanging GRAM

GRAM is a native-chain token — it lives on The Open Network and operates on its own infrastructure, separate from Ethereum, BNB Chain, or any other EVM-compatible network. The receiving address for any GRAM swap must be a TON-compatible address.
TON addresses are base64-encoded strings, typically around 48 characters, starting with EQ or UQ. Both prefixes point to the same underlying account: EQ is the bounceable format (used in smart contract interactions where failed transactions return funds to the sender), and UQ is the non-bounceable format more commonly shown for regular wallet use. Modern TON wallets — Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, @wallet on Telegram — handle both formats transparently. What matters is that you do not paste a GRAM address into an Ethereum destination field (0x...) or a BNB Chain field. They're structurally incompatible and funds sent there are not recoverable.
If you're depositing GRAM to a centralized exchange after a swap, pay attention to whether the exchange requires a memo or comment alongside the deposit address. Many CEX platforms use a single shared wallet address for all users and distinguish accounts by memo. Skipping the memo is one of the most common support tickets in the TON ecosystem — funds arrive at the exchange's wallet but don't get credited to the right account, requiring manual intervention.
Transaction finality on the TON chain takes roughly one second. A full swap through an exchange partner — deposit, processing, and outbound transfer — typically completes within 5 to 20 minutes depending on the provider and network conditions at the time.

What you Need to Know About the Name: GRAM, TON, Toncoin, and the Others

The June 2026 rebrand introduced some short-term confusion, and a few persistent naming collisions are worth spelling out before you make an exchange.

On Swapzone, the native GRAM (The Open Network) is listed separately from bridged versions, so you can verify exactly what you're exchanging before confirming the transaction.

There is also a legacy proof-of-work token from 2018 that has historically appeared under names similar to "Gram" and trades at a tiny fraction of a cent with a minimal market capitalization. It predates the current TON blockchain entirely, has no connection to the 2026 rebrand, and is not the same asset. If a result in a search or on a small exchange shows a "Gram" or "GRAM" priced at fractions of a cent with a market cap in the low millions, that is this old token — not the native coin of The Open Network.

Native GRAM

TONERC20

TONBEP20

Native token GRAM (The Open Network, ticker GRAM) is the asset this page covers — the native coin of the TON blockchain, formerly known as Toncoin. It lives exclusively on The Open Network.

Gram exTON (GRAM) Price Prediction

GRAM (TON) price is shaped by a combination of on-chain network activity, exchange liquidity, market sentiment, and broader crypto market conditions. Key factors to track include TON adoption metrics, development milestones, and how GRAM moves relative to Bitcoin during different market cycles.

No GRAM price prediction is certain — TON is a volatile digital asset and can lose value rapidly. Always do your own research (DYOR) and consult independent sources before making any financial decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gram (GRAM) Exchange

My exchange still shows "TON" or "Toncoin" — is that the same as GRAM? dropdown

Yes. The rebrand from Toncoin (TON) to Gram (GRAM) took effect on June 15, 2026, and platforms have been rolling out the display update on their own timelines. If you see TON or Toncoin on a platform that hasn't updated yet, it refers to the same native asset on The Open Network. Your balance, address, and holdings are completely unchanged — only the label differs. No action is needed on your part, and no migration or conversion is required.

What address format should I use to receive GRAM after a swap? dropdown

You need a native TON address — a roughly 48-character base64 string starting with EQ or UQ. Both variants work fine; the prefix describes how the network handles failed transactions, not which wallet it belongs to. Never send native GRAM to an Ethereum address (starts with 0x) or a BNB Chain address — the networks are incompatible and the funds would be unrecoverable. Use an address from a TON-compatible wallet such as Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, or @wallet in Telegram.

Do I need to include a memo when receiving GRAM? dropdown

Wallet-to-wallet transfers on TON don't require a memo. However, if you're depositing GRAM into a centralized exchange, check the exchange's deposit page carefully — many use a single shared deposit address with a memo field that identifies your specific account. Missing the memo at that stage is a common source of delayed credits. For standard swaps where you receive GRAM directly to your personal wallet, no memo is needed.

What's the difference between native GRAM and TONERC20? dropdown

They are distinct tokens on different blockchains. Native GRAM exists on The Open Network and is what you need for staking, TON-based DeFi, paying gas on TON, and using GRAM within Telegram's ecosystem. TONERC20 is a wrapped version on Ethereum, used in Ethereum DeFi. If you're exchanging GRAM to deploy it within the Telegram ecosystem or The Open Network, always confirm the receiving address is a TON-format address (EQ.../UQ...) rather than an Ethereum or BNB Chain address. Sending to the wrong network's address means the assets go to an incompatible chain with no way to retrieve them through Swapzone.

What is Gram (GRAM) and how does it relate to TON? dropdown

Gram is the current name for the native token of the TON (The Open Network) blockchain, rebranded from Toncoin (TON) following the Open League Foundation's transition. The TON blockchain was originally developed by Telegram, then handed to the community after Telegram settled with the SEC in 2020. Gram runs on the TON blockchain, a sharded proof-of-stake Layer-1 designed for high throughput and integration with Telegram's 900+ million user base. The rebrand to Gram does not change the underlying blockchain or token mechanics: the same token that was previously called TON/Toncoin on most exchanges is now named Gram. On Swapzone, the asset is listed as GRAM.

How much is 1 GRAM worth? dropdown

GRAM is a volatile asset and its price changes continuously. Current market data is shown on the page's price chart, sourced from CoinGecko and updated in real time. For an accurate figure before making a swap, use the Swapzone calculator: enter the GRAM amount and each partner offer returns the exact receiving amount at the current rate. Note that MoneyGram exchange rate questions about USD wire transfers are unrelated to this cryptocurrency.

Does sending GRAM require a MEMO or comment? dropdown

Yes. The TON network uses a comment (also called a memo or payload) field for transactions. When sending GRAM to a centralized exchange or any platform that shares one deposit address across multiple users, omitting the required comment can result in your deposit going unassigned. Always check the deposit screen the partner generates: if a comment or memo field appears, copy it exactly alongside the address. Wallet-to-wallet transfers between self-custodial wallets typically do not require a comment, but exchange deposits almost always do.

How do I swap GRAM on Swapzone? dropdown

Select GRAM as the sending or receiving asset, enter the amount, and compare offers from exchange partners with their rates, ratings, and KYC frequency labels. GRAM requires a TON-compatible wallet such as Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, or Ledger with the TON application. The default gas token is GRAM itself since TON network fees are paid in GRAM. Swapzone charges 0% platform fee and holds no funds at any point.

What is the difference between native GRAM and wrapped GRAM on other networks? dropdown

Native GRAM runs on the TON blockchain. There are also wrapped versions of GRAM on other networks (for example, ERC-20 representations on Ethereum) that exist for use in Ethereum-based DeFi protocols. These are different tokens requiring different wallets and gas tokens. Always confirm which network version the exchange partner expects on the deposit side before sending, as cross-chain deposits to the wrong address result in lost funds.

The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG

My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.

Great service with great support!

not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100

I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)

Read this carefully

Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
