GRAM (prev. Toncoin) is a layer-1 blockchain originally developed by the Telegram team and launched as a decentralized network in 2021. Core technical characteristics include 0.6-second transaction finality, average fees of $0.0005, and a sharded architecture with dynamic scaling. The blockchain supports smart contracts written in Tolk, a statically typed language for the TON Virtual Machine, alongside toolkits for building Mini Apps and bots for Telegram's ecosystem of over 1 billion users.

The ecosystem includes TON Connect for wallet-based authentication, WalletKit, TON Pay for payment infrastructure, AgentKit for AI agents with autonomous on-chain wallets, and Acton, an all-in-one CLI for smart contract development and deployment. Telegram serves as the network's largest validator, providing native blockchain integration with the messenger and its user base.
