Toncoin is now Gram. The Open Network's native token has been rebranded to GRAM, according to the project, retiring the Toncoin name that the asset carried since its early days. The change lands on holders who now need to track a new ticker for the same underlying asset on TON.
The rebrand isn't a migration to a new chain or a swap into a separate token. It's a rename — Toncoin becomes Gram, full stop. But for anyone holding the asset, that distinction matters less than the practical question of what shows up in their wallet and on exchange listings.
Same token, new name
Gram (GRAM) is the rebranded native token of The Open Network, formerly known as Toncoin. The blockchain itself — TON — isn't changing its name. Only the token is. That keeps the branding cleaner: one network, one asset, one ticker. The old Toncoin label had been in circulation long enough that traders still refer to it by habit, which is exactly the kind of lag a rebrand has to fight.
For holders, the implications are mostly administrative. A rebrand doesn't alter supply, distribution, or how the token functions on TON. What it does change is how the asset is identified across wallets, explorers, and exchange interfaces — and that's where the friction usually shows up first.
What holders actually face
The rebrand from Toncoin to Gram (GRAM) has implications for holders, though the project hasn't detailed any mandatory action on their part. In a straight rename, balances stay put. The asset doesn't move. What changes is the label attached to it.
Where it gets messy is the long tail of platforms that list the token. Wallets, portfolio trackers, and exchanges each update on their own schedule, which means holders could see the old Toncoin name and the new Gram ticker coexisting for a while. That's a recipe for confusion, particularly for anyone searching for the asset by its former name and finding stale references.
The TON angle
TON has spent years building out its identity as a blockchain, and the token name was the last piece still carrying legacy branding. Renaming the asset to Gram aligns the token with the network's current positioning rather than its earlier chapter. It's a cosmetic move on the surface. Beneath it, though, it's a signal that the project wants the asset's name to match the chain it lives on.
Whether the market adopts "Gram" quickly is another matter. Ticker changes are notorious for sticking around in user habits long after the official switch. Traders who called it Toncoin for years won't flip overnight.
What's still unanswered
The project hasn't laid out a timeline for when exchanges and wallets are expected to complete the label change, and there's no detail yet on how the transition will be handled across major listings. For holders, the asset is the same. The name on the label isn't. Watch for the first wave of exchange and wallet updates — that's where the rebrand will either go smoothly or generate a round of support tickets.
