GRAM $1.35

The Open Network, mapped.

TON is the blockchain inside Telegram: a sharded L1 with sub-second finality, a built-in wallet, USDT in chat, collectibles people actually use, mini apps, and a token now called GRAM. Most dashboards still treat it as a footnote.

The Gram Times

The TON news channel that often prints first — wallet rollouts, Durov fills, protocol notes. 1.27K subscribers. Open a headline or the whole feed.

Telegram has already granted access to the native Gram Wallet to over 21,000 users. Just recently the number was a little over 2,000.

13 Sept

Durov topped up $GRAM on his Telegram account.

12 Sept

Kris (Reseachy) asked the My Wallet founder whether NFT cards will also land in Telegram Wallet. Answer: not discussed yet.

10 Sept

Resistor dropped a video demo of the Telegram Wallet. Access is rolling out, still a small group.

Inside TON

Six layers. Numbers are only one of them.

If you only remember anonymous Telegram numbers, you are looking at one collectible market on a consumer chain. The rest of the stack is payments, apps, staking, tokens and a weird VM.

GRAM + tokenomics

Native asset, formerly Toncoin. Circ. 2.79B, FDV ~$7.1B, validator inflation currently ~2% a year. TON Strategy holds ~220M GRAM (~8% of float) on the books.

Collectibles

Not just PFPs. +888 numbers, @usernames, Telegram Gifts, .ton DNS, sticker packs. Utility inside a messenger, not a JPEG gallery.

Mini Apps

WebApps inside Telegram via TON Connect. Tracked TMA MAU ~21.3M (Tribute, Crypto Bot, games). Foundation has cited 100M+ — treat that as sessions, not wallets.

Payments & USDT

USD₮ jetton: ~3.4M holders. Stars, Fragment, in-chat transfers. Fees around $0.0003. TRON still wins raw USDT float; TON wins the chat UX.

Staking

Native cycle 17.83%. Hipo leads liquid at 17.3%. Tonstakers holds the LST TVL. Telegram is the #2 staker.

Jettons

TON’s token standard. USDT, tsTON, then the tap-to-earn cohort (NOT, HMSTR, CATI, DOGS) and native memes (UTYA). Holders in the millions, caps in the tens of millions.

Payments

The dollar in the chat is the product.

USDT on TON, Stars cashed out through Fragment, TON Connect instead of a browser wallet. Fees around $0.0003. TRON still owns the global USDT float; TON owns the inbox.

USD₮ in Telegram

Tether issued as a jetton in 2023. Send dollars in chat, pay merchants, settle Fragment. Tonscan prints jetton supply / holders live; DefiLlama’s stablecoin basket is tighter. Both numbers are on this site.

tonviewer.com

Telegram Stars

In-app currency for digital goods. Creators cash Stars out through Fragment; settlement lands in GRAM. A fiat on-ramp that never says the word blockchain.

telegram.org

Fragment settlement

Official Telegram market for numbers, usernames, gift royalties. Revenue settles in GRAM — one of the few real sinks for the native asset.

fragment.com

TON Connect

The session standard. Mini apps attach Telegram Wallet, Keeper or My Wallet without a browser extension. Distribution is a QR in a chat, not a Chrome store.

docs.ton.org

Mini Apps

The distribution layer nobody else has.

Tracked TMA monthly actives sit around 21.3M. Foundation has published 100M+ session figures — those mix on-chain and off-chain. Click any row to open the app in Telegram.

One TON collection still clears BAYC on floor cap.

Honest

TON does not win every column.

How we count

  • NFT cap = floor × supply. That overstates long-tail collections and understates names, where value sits in the top.
  • Number floor and all-time volume are live from nums888.io (Fragment + Getgems + other books). Getgems-only volume on numbers is lower (~106M). We print the all-market figure.
  • Username (129M) and .ton DNS (8.1M) all-time volumes are Getgems prints. Gift volumes are Getgems all-time; MRKT and Portals add more gift flow that Getgems does not capture.
  • Gift floors are live Fragment asks via GiftsWatch. Getgems is often cheaper. Issued supply is Dune / Fragment “of” after burns.
  • Tracked TMA MAU ~21.3M ≠ Foundation’s 100M+ mini-app figure. The latter includes off-chain sessions.
  • DefiLlama DeFi TVL and liquid-staking TVL refresh live. USDT-on-TON supply is the jetton (TonAPI); DefiLlama’s stablecoin basket is tighter. GRAM price, jetton caps, TVL, numbers, gift floors, ETH NFT floors and staking APYs overlay from live sources every minute.
  • Staking APY: native is the last completed Ton Whales cycle, not the in-progress round. Liquid rates are the number each app currently prints — Hipo’s figure is “yearly rewards, last 2 rounds” and moves every cycle; Stakee’s landing page markets 21–25% and applies a display boost, we use the widget. “Realized” is Hipo’s July 2026 on-chain benchmark. Tonstakers’ marketing site still shows ~3% — stale, pre-upgrade. Earn / LP / restaking (40%+) is a different product.
  • Figures compiled 14 Sep 2026. Live overlay refreshes from nums888, DefiLlama, Coinpaprika, Hipo, Ton Whales, Stakee, StakingRewards, OpenSea, Tonstat, Chainspect, TonAPI, GiftsWatch, The Gram Times. Rounded. Not financial advice.
