Three independent crypto news outlets (PANews, AMBCrypto, Odaily) published on June 1, 2026 all corroborate Durov's announcement and cite his original Telegram channel post (t.me/durov/521). All key claim details align: Toncoin→Gram rename, ~3-week gradual transition, TON blockchain name preserved, and step 4 of the 7-step MTGA plan. The Telegram post itself could not be scraped directly but is consistently referenced as the primary source.

Summary

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said The Open Network’s native token will be renamed from Toncoin to Gram, with the transition expected to take about three weeks. He stated that TON will remain the name of the blockchain network, making clear that the rebrand applies to the token rather than the network itself. Durov linked the move to his seven-step “Make TON Great Again” plan. The new update mainly reiterates the previously reported token-only rebrand and rollout timeframe without adding details on token economics, governance, technical changes, or exchange ticker arrangements.
