As soon as this news appeared online, a real furor began. Apparently, cryptocurrency from the Telegram messenger will be watched especially actively. The excitement is already noticeable right now.
Investors are showing great interest in the GRAM cryptocurrency. But what is so interesting about the coin in question, and what is its feature? And of course, we will try to talk about TON - the blockchain on which the coin works. Probably, now users are interested in the exchange rate and forecasts for this financial unit. And is there really a connection with Pavel Durov or is this speculation? In any case, this project deserves attention.
The emergence of information about the Gram cryptocurrency
We first heard about Gram coin on December 21 last year from former VKontakte top manager Anton Rosenberg. It was he who came up with the message that Telegram (which is headed by Pavel Durov) will launch its own cryptocurrency. This information could not have been taken seriously if the next day a video with a presentation of the project had not been published on YouTube.
But this is not the end of the information about the coin. Thus, on January 7, Fyodor Skuratov (founder of the company for analytics in instant messengers Combot) published text extracts from the whitepaper.
Well, the final point that there will indeed be a cryptocurrency was made by Techcrunch, where on January 8 a detailed note about the upcoming presentation of the Gram coin was published. The author of this publication claims that after negotiations with a couple of reliable sources, he was able to familiarize himself with the original whitepaper.
Representatives of Telegram will work on the launch of this coin. Moreover, this will happen without the participation of banks or government organizations. And of course, it is not discussed that the future coin will be called Gram.
Naturally, the coin has practically no tools. Their launch is planned gradually. In particular:
- Telegram Wallet (a wallet for storing this cryptocurrency) will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022. So this year it will be possible to acquire one of the main tools for work. The wallet will allow you to store both cryptocurrency from Telegram and fiat funds. This is a unique solution;
- Almost all services running on the TON blockchain and suitable for working with this cryptocurrency will be launched in 2019.
During the pre-sale of coins, the developers plan to receive up to $500 million. Moreover, such investments are expected only from large investors. When a full-fledged ICO starts, the developers plan to collect at least three billion dollars. Although, according to optimistic forecasts, it is possible that the Gram coin will be able to raise five billion dollars. And not the least role in this will be played by the connection with Pavel Durov.
Low-level storage, cells
All data in the TON blockchain is stored in structures called cells.
This is the basic unit for measuring the size of all network elements: messages, contract code, a wide variety of data.
Each cell contains 1023 bits of information and up to 4 links to neighboring cells.
There are 256 different types of cells, which differ in the way they are implemented and the number of links to other cells.
All of them are combined into a tree with the number of connections for each element from 0 to 4.
Cells are used for unified storage and deterministic operation in blockchain storage.
Features of Telegram Open Network
Among the features of the Telegram Open Network are the following:
- If we consider the information about the technical documents of TON, then a new coin in the amount of 200 million units (which is 4% of the total) will be registered in the name of the development team, that is, for Telegram. But the company plans to keep about 52% of the total number of coins (2.6 billion units) for itself. This will be done to protect the new cryptocurrency from speculative influence. They will not be used, but will be frozen until the market situation stabilizes and the money can be released. But the remaining 44% of coins (2.2 billion units) will be put up for public sale;
- The official launch of Gram ton will take place in March 2022, so the wait won't be long. As you can see from the previous information, the total issue of coins is 5 billion units;
- As already mentioned, there will be a pre-ICO stage. To be allowed to participate, investors must have at least $20 million. This is a minimal investment. It is known that coins will be sold exclusively for fiat funds. Moreover, the developers specifically indicated that they were interested in dollars or euros;
- There are rumors online about how much the cryptocurrency will cost on TON. Users are confident that one coin will cost $1.2. Other sources claim that the price will be around 1.45–3.5 dollars. But these are just rumors, so we'll see if the expectations are met;
- The system uses Proof-of-stake (PoS) confirmation of ownership shares as a confirmation protocol;
- Mining of this cryptocurrency on computing equipment is also not provided for by the system;
- The transaction speed on this network is milliseconds. This is the main advantage of the system under consideration. Moreover, nothing can affect this fact: cryptocurrency works stably regardless of the circumstances;
- The system has almost infinite scalability due to the use of multi-blockchain technology;
- Through the use of smart contracts, this cryptocurrency can directly compete with Ethereum.
The main idea of the TON cryptocurrency
Many experts see the new coin as a threat to Ethereum. Like, she has everything it takes to promote one of the leaders of the cryptocurrency community. Others say that TON coin can be a serious competitor to Bitcoin. Whether this is so, time will tell, because now there is a lot of talk around cryptocurrency, but even the ICO, which is scheduled for March 2018, has not officially begun.
The unique idea of TON is that it will be implemented into the Telegram system itself. Consequently, users will be able to use cryptocurrency for internal payments and more. In addition, Pavel Durov’s statement about the upcoming monetization of his messenger added fuel to the fire. He has shown a personal interest in the potential of cryptocurrencies. In addition, Durov pointed out that most cryptocurrency transactions are carried out using Telegrams.
Something more serious on the topic of the new cryptocurrency TON Gram can be seen at the beginning of 2022. All that remains is to be patient and wait until new information about cryptocurrency is provided to the public.
Blockchain structure
The telegram open network (TON) cryptocurrency blockchain platform consists of four main services:
- Services (TON Services) . They are used to create other developments, and the purpose of new developments is to apply the capabilities of the project. In particular, TON is often used in the field of mobile devices and smart contracts. As a result, it turns out that the new service can be used by all Telegram users.
- DNS . The platform will be used to ensure that smart contract services have high readability. In particular, it makes it possible to assign familiar, simpler, “human” names consisting of one or more phrases to accounts and blockchain nodes. In other words, DNS makes access as easy as accessing the Internet.
- Payments, or payments . This service is designed to perform small operations. In particular, its goal is to help implement so-called microtransactions carried out within the network. Payments provides its own system to ensure user safety. So, within the platform, high reliability of the operations carried out is guaranteed.
- Blockchain (Instant Hypercube Routing) . The blockchain is created from the main chain and accompanying elements. The number of these elements is two to the 92nd power. But in essence, this blockchain would not be much different from similar ones if it were not for the special element that is provided in the network. The fact is that thanks to it, unlimited scaling is ensured. Thanks to this, blocks in the blockchain are simply separated and then connected to record changes under different loads on the chain. As a result, new blocks are formed faster than in a second. In addition, due to the fact that there are no long chains in the blockchain, transactions also take place quickly.
To increase the speed of the transaction, the Instant Hypercube Routing element is used. It will work even when the popularity of the platform increases, which means the load on the network increases.
In order to increase productivity and maintain the speed of transactions, one of the BFT protocol variants is used. Except for chain branching, special 2D registries will most likely be used. Thanks to this, the blockchain becomes autonomous and will independently remove errors that will inevitably appear from time to time.
As already mentioned, the blockchain of the new cryptocurrency works on Proof-of-stake technology. It is reliable, and all thanks to the large number of users. The system is fault-tolerant, and it has a special place to store smart contracts, payments, etc.
Based on the above, we can conclude that the blockchain is more powerful and reliable than that of previously created cryptocurrencies. According to information provided in recently published documents regarding TON, more than a million transactions are processed here in one second.
TON roadmap
The TON coin roadmap looks like this:
- Q1 2018 - Launch of Telegram External Secure ID. That is, the external security code will be launched;
- Q2 2018 - Launch of the Minimal Viable Test Network of TON. During this period, testing of the TON network will be carried out according to the MVP principle, that is, “Minimum Viable Product”;
- Q3 2018 — Testing and security audits of TON. TON security testing and verification is being carried out;
— Deployment of the stable version of TON. A stable version of the TON blockchain will be introduced;
Q4 2018- Q4 2018 – Launch of Telegram Wallet. The launch of a Telegram wallet for cryptocurrency and fiat funds is promised;
- Q1 2019 — Creation of TON-based economy in Telegram. The construction of the economic foundation and foundations on the Telegram Open Network blockchain will begin;
- Q1 2019 - Launch of TON Services, TON Storage, and TON Proxy. All related services, storage and TON proxy servers will start.
After the publication of the roadmap, the developers not only plan to raise about five billion dollars, but have already decided where to spend more than 80% of the total amount. The presentation said that this money will be used to develop equipment that supports the operation of cryptocurrency. In addition, money will be spent to verify users and make the network as secure as possible. More money is needed to attract additional specialists, whose task is to ensure the stability of the cryptocurrency and its blockchain.
Summary of TON Whitepaper
On January 10, 2022, a White Paper for the Gram token appeared online.
However, at the moment the information that the data indicated there is true has not been confirmed. Although no one is going to refute these data yet. For those who don’t know, White Paper (WP) is a document whose task is to find clients. It describes the project in the most complete and accessible way possible. This is something like a review article, but the emphasis is on the advantages of the project. Information should be presented in white (hence the name). After reading the White Paper, the user should become interested in the proposed platform and make an investment.
According to the information provided in the TON Whitepaper, several main postulates can be identified:
- Users will have the opportunity to make legal cryptocurrency exchanges;
- Each participant in the Telegram system will have their own identifier - something like a virtual passport (secure universal ID);
- The sale of advertising will be legalized within Telegram, which will allow the creation of a full-fledged advertising exchange;
- It will be possible to buy a subscription or use paid functions in bots. And all this against the backdrop of a fully functioning monetization system;
The Telegram application directory will become available. Something similar already exists in the AppStore or Google Play. And the user will be able to choose what interests him, since the database will take into account the interest of clients;- Among the new TON services will be TON Proxy. Thanks to it, users will be able to ignore resource blocking: these problems can be circumvented. So blocked sites or other resources together with TON Proxy will no longer be a problem;
- The TON virtual economy will be built on Gram, the system’s crypto coin. But it can be used not only within the system, but also in external transactions;
- The construction of a full-fledged micropayment system will be carried out not only for Telegram users, but also for participants in third-party services. And to transfer money, TON wallets will be used;
- The TON blockchain is adapted to conduct several million transactions per second. So that you understand the scope, for comparison: the Bitcoin blockchain “pulls out” only 7 transactions, and Ethereum — 25 transactions.
If everything goes as indicated in the White Sheet, then in 2022 all services will be fully operational. It is during this period that the project should change its name Telegram Open Network to The Open Network, and the management of TON will become the concern of the TON Foundation.

Wallet for Gram cryptocurrency
Naturally, each cryptocurrency requires a wallet. Gram coin is no exception. Since the cryptocurrency has not yet been released, it is too early to talk about a wallet. The launch of the official wallet is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022. But developers are already thinking about maintaining the anonymity of users and the complete security of transactions inside wallets.
All information stored in the wallet, according to plans, is protected by double encryption. Therefore, the data will not be transferred to the external server. To gain access to the wallet, users will be asked to use verification. While the details are unknown, there are already assumptions that clients will have to provide scanned copies of their passport. Document owners do not have to worry, since all data will be encrypted and only the owners of the wallet will have access to it. So you don't have to worry about privacy.
Everyone who buys this cryptocurrency receives Telegram Wallet. It encrypts information and issues keys when needed. The keys are intended only for the user to whom this wallet belongs.
It is noteworthy that the wallet will be designed to store not only Gram, but also other money. It will provide high-speed transactions, but for each of them you will need to pay a certain commission.
Coin mining from Telegram
If you believe the published white papers about the Gram cryptocurrency, the mining principle will differ from the classic mining of other similar digital money:
- A thousand miners will be selected monthly from all willing users to mine this currency. Each selected miner will have to go through a verification procedure. Other users will not be able to mine grams at this time;
- crypto miners will use their equipment for mining. In this case, no special equipment is required. To successfully mine such coins, it is enough to have a modern, powerful processor;
- miners will also be required to verify transactions and confirm them;
- For their work, miners will receive a reward in the form of accrued cryptocurrency. At the same time, they will be fined for mistakes and will lose their earned coins.
It is still difficult to say how true this information is because there were no statements from official representatives of the telegram. We can only wait until information appears about the principle of currency mining from a telegram from Durov or other representatives of the messenger management. In any case, you should not believe rumors, much less sites and portals offering to purchase this crypt.
The TON Wallet cryptocurrency wallet will initially be launched as a stand-alone application, not integrated into the Telegram messenger. In the future, the company allows integration to the extent that the law allows. Telegram also does not plan to develop TON, hoping that third-party developers using the platform will do this.
Comments by Pavel Durov on the launch of cryptocurrency in Telegram
The Gram cryptocurrency is closely associated with the name of Pavel Durov.
It is not surprising that after his statements in favor of the future of cryptocurrencies, Durov decided to take on the creation of his own coin, which will work on the Telegram network. Pavel even indicated that he himself bought two thousand bitcoins in 2013. In addition, the cryptocurrency community is expanding and most of it uses the services of Telegram. It is logical to assume that the appearance of a new coin was only a matter of time. So Durov said that in 2022 a big step in the development of Telegram is planned - the birth of a new cryptocurrency on its own blockchain.
Durov spoke on the topic of Gram on his Twitter. True, his words look very vague: they neither confirm nor refute rumors about a new coin. But the most important thing Pavel Durov said was to follow the official news on Telegram and not believe rumors. As for other sources of information, they may be fraudulent. You can't trust them.
One of the users - @logerfo - mentioned Durov in a question about whether the news about the release of the coin was a hoax. Paul reacted again. He pointed out that he was not saying that the issuance of cryptocurrency was a scam, but was merely urging users to be on guard. And the site tgram.cc was called fraudulent.
The fact is that it was on the English-language resource tgram.cc that an article describing the Telegram Open Network blockchain project first appeared. This happened a few days before Durov’s comments were published online.
Smart contract language
TON uses the low-level and extremely deterministic Fift language, which is based on the FORTH language (which is probably why the name Fift was chosen).
It is a concatenative, stack-based language for microcontrollers.
Unfortunately, only two options have been invented for writing smart contracts with the properties of determinism and maximum efficiency: EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and WASM (WebAssembly).
Fift is strictly typed; there are a dozen and a half types, including complex ones (Tuple, List, Odject).
The whole idea of this language is built around "word" operators: there are many different words for stack manipulation, functions, logical blocks, variables - all of this is subject to the central concept of a "word" operator.
For example, this is what the code looks like for outputting two Fibonacci numbers greater than 1000:
{ 1 0 rot { -rot over + swap rot 2dup >= } until drop } : fib-gtr
1000 fib-gtr
Here:
- dop (xx x) , creates a duplicate of the value at the top of the stack.
If the stack is empty, it generates an exception error. - drop (x) , removes the value from the top of the stack.
- swap (xyyx) , swaps the positions of the two values closest to the top of the stack.
- rot (xyzyzx) , rotates the three values closest to the top of the stack.
- -rot (xyzzxy), rotates the three values closest to the top of the stack in the opposite direction.
Equivalent to rot rot. - over (xyxyx) , creates a copy of the second value on the stack and places it on the top of the stack.
- tuck (xyyxy) , equivalent to swap over.
- nip (xyy) , removes the second value from the top on the stack.
Equivalent to swap drop. - 2dup (xy-xyxy) , equivalent to over over.
It should be noted that many developers are shocked by this syntax and before studying the documentation for Fift, it is recommended to study that for FORTH.
For what reason did the developers choose Fift as the language for smart contracts? Perhaps because in this form it is excellent for formal verification and is more error-resistant, requiring application developers to fully understand the sequence of any operations.
What cryptocurrency will give to Telegram
Telegram is the largest and at the same time actively growing messenger created by VKontakte developer Pavel Durov. It differs from its competitors in the following advantages:
- High level of system convenience;
- The messenger works at great speed;
- Original and highly functional API;
- Personal correspondence is reliably protected from hacking. The developers specifically made sure that even intelligence agencies did not have access to correspondence;
- There are secret chats that can self-destruct;
- All users can remain completely anonymous.
Ton cryptocurrency makes Telegram work even better and safer. It expands the capabilities of Telegraph. The system itself is convenient for developers. Helpful bots appear that make apps with apps. You can do anything on this network. In particular, order a taxi, store bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies, pay for various services. You can even open an online store.
In relation to Bitcoin, Pavel Durov’s new cryptocurrency on the ton blockchain looks even more attractive, since it already has its own network. All that remains is to introduce Gram into circulation and support the cryptocurrency. Based on this, if today the application’s audience is 170 million users, then after rumors about the appearance of the Gram cryptocurrency passed, users became more active. Now, an average of 500,000 people join the audience almost every day. And when the blockchain is fully operational, the number of clients is expected to increase.
- As already mentioned, it will be possible to make purchases on the service. All this is done through bots.
- It will also be possible to make transfers, but you will have to pay a commission to the system nodes.
- Order subscriptions, such as paid channels, pay for advertising and make donations.
Components of the TON platform
TON is a project that supports several blockchains at once. Therefore, they require complex network protocols such as peer-to-peer networking to manage and provide adequate flexibility. In addition to the core, TON Blockchain has released or plans to release the following useful components:
- TON Storage. A technology for decentralized storage of any files, reminiscent of a torrent. Access to files is provided using smart contracts. This method is also suitable for large volumes of information, such as in Telegram or YouTube.
- TON Proxy. An anonymizer that hides IP addresses and identifiers on the network. Can be used to form entire decentralized VPN services, for example, an alternative to the Tor browser. Effectively protects any application, including Telegram, from censorship.
- TON Services. A platform for supporting any third-party services - decentralized software solutions, smart contracts, website browsing.
- TON DNS. A special service that makes working with smart contracts, user accounts, and intranet nodes similar to working with websites on the Internet. The basis is to assign human-readable names to all elements.
- TON Payments. Service for conducting microtransactions. Can be used to transfer values between users, services, bots. Transfers occur outside the chain, but the degree of security is no less than on the chain.
All of the above items can be combined with third-party applications or social networks to share data. As a result, there is a unification of the decentralized and centralized spheres.
Release date of the Gram cryptocurrency and the TON blockchain
Despite the fact that there is a lot of talk around TON, few can say when the Gram currency will hit the market. So far the plans look like this.
According to rumors about closed auctions, to which only a select few are allowed, coins will be available to buy as early as next week. Namely, starting from February 2022. The identities of the people who will take part in these auctions are unknown to anyone.
So, for 2022, the creators of the project plan the following:
- The ICO launch and announcement are planned for March 2022. This is the most accurate date indicating when the Gram cryptocurrency will be released. Below we only talk about quarterly distribution;
- External security code is planned to be launched in the first quarter;
- Operations to check the network will be carried out in the second quarter of this year. Moreover, verification is used according to the MVP principle;
- In the fourth quarter, it is planned to launch a more stable version of the network and create a wallet.
Plans for 2022 are much more modest, but several significant events are also planned:
- In the first quarter of next year, users should expect the final formation of economic postulates using the base of the blockchain we are considering;
- In the first or second quarter of 2022, the storage service will be launched and it will be possible to use the proxy service.
The final release date for the gram cryptocurrency, or rather, its full launch is planned no earlier than 2022. After this happens, the platform will be renamed to TON, although Telegram will be something of an addition.
Forecast for 2022
It is still difficult to analyze and create forecasts regarding the further development of the gram cryptocurrency because it has not yet been officially released. This coin is currently under development. This is only a promising project. At the same time, some exchanges have already begun accepting applications from users wishing to purchase this cryptocurrency in the future. But it hasn’t officially been released yet, so it’s impossible to buy it.
In the fall of 2022, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the court secured a ban on the release of Gram, scheduled for the end of October of the same year. The SEC considers Gram a “security” and not a cryptocurrency and insists that securities laws should apply to it. Telegram founder Pavel Durov will recently testify in Dubai as a witness in this lawsuit. There will be a release.
How much will one Gram cost?
Everyone who first heard about the Gram cryptocurrency is interested in how much it will cost. Naturally, no one is talking about a specific price, because the coin has not even been launched yet. Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a forecast about how much Gram coin will cost. Of course, if we talk about an accurate forecast.
There is very little information about the new coin on the Internet. But if you believe the forecasts of several foreign analysts, its price may be as follows:
- The price of 1 TON will be equal to 1.5 dollars. Most experts support this forecast;
- The price of 1 TON will be equal to 2–2.5 dollars. This is not such a popular option, but there are also many experts on its side;
- The price of 1 TON during the public sale period will be 5–6 dollars per coin.
Of course, there are other opinions, and the most daring ones. Some "experts" are talking about a price of $10 or even more. But it is doubtful that such forecasts will come true.
Despite the fact that the exact cost of the Telegram Gram cryptocurrency is unknown, experts agree on one thing. They say that the capitalization of this digital resource will reach third position in the overall list. And this is a forecast only for the first few months of trading.
The founder of DigRate Stanislav Shakirov also spoke about forecasting rates:
“GUESSING ABOUT THE COST OF AN UNANNOUNCED TOKEN IS A THANKFUL ACTIVITY. IN ADDITION, LIKELY, THE PRICE WILL NOT BE FIXED. THE TEAM “KEEPS FOR THEMSELVES” A LOT OF TOKENS TO IMPLEMENT AN EXCHANGE SOFTWARE SOLUTION THAT PROTECTS FROM VOLATILITY. AND CONSIDERING THE EXAMPLE OF BITCOIN AND OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCIES, THE RATE FLUCTUATES STRONGLY DURING THE DAY, NOT TO TALK ABOUT A LONGER TIME PERIOD.”
Of course, it’s easy to make a mistake in this matter, so don’t believe any forecasts. Trust only verified information published on official resources.
Shard blocks
Each shard block must contain a certain mandatory set of data, the so-called.
indivisible part.
It includes:
- The hash of the previous block and possibly the hashes of the parents in the event of a shardchain merger.
- Validator signatures for already accepted blocks.
- The number of the last known masterchain block.
- Hashes of the initial and final state of the shard for this block.
- An outgoing message queue in the form of a list of messages sent to other shards.
Accountchain
The account chain is the initial level of the TON blockchain.
Each account ID is a 256-bit key + workchain ID.
For example, the smart contract address will look like this:
1:81525a3672b55678d4139b993b542c5c9735ac41b653d963a42855c9834b6921a4.
And the user account address is like this:
Ef+BVndfdQ45nUdlsfsmv68KBHGSgBJsfsv58dG2SE4oPMgs4.
The account itself receives and accepts messages (of course, these are not messages from Telegram).
They can contain GRAM tokens, be calls to smart contracts, represent any other data, etc.
All messages are processed only when they are delivered to the desired shard.
At the same time, they can move freely through intermediate shards.
Messages can also come from outside the TON blockchain, i.e.
be “messages from nowhere.”
Account
Any account is a smart contract, possibly even with empty code.
Each account pays a fee for storing data, i.e.
its balance decreases over time.
The account contains information about the balance of GRAM tokens, the contract code or its hash, the time spent on the network, starting from the appearance of the root cell, statistics on the use of the data storage (for example, by the time of the last payment for storage), and a formal description of the interface.
Why Gram can become successful
Telegram has many advantages over coins from other projects. Among the most noticeable advantages of the currency in question are the following:
- The base for the launch of this cryptocurrency is almost ready. Many ICOs enter the market almost empty-handed, but not in this case. There is no need to launch an ICO in order to raise money for the development of the base. There is already a successfully operating Telegram, a world-class messenger that has been operating for four years.
- The cryptocurrency already has an audience that is interested in viewing the Gram cryptocurrency review. Throughout its operation, Telegram has amassed an audience of 200 million people. They use the messenger almost every day, so they are interested in the emergence of cryptocurrency. If at least half of them are interested in the coin, a great start for the cryptocurrency is guaranteed.
- The literacy of Telegram users is much higher than the average people. Most of them are well versed in modern technologies and will be able to appreciate the benefits of working with their cryptocurrency. Not surprisingly, Telegram is where most of the cryptocurrency community operates.
Gram cryptocurrency rate and forecast
It’s too early to talk about what the Gram rate will be, because this cryptocurrency will only be quoted. Now this coin has begun to be traded on only two exchanges - CCEX and Yobit.
The price ratio of the Gram currency to the dollar is shown in this table;
| Exchange | Price | Qty | Time |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 45,92 | 18:54:02 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 3,31076 | 18:53:58 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 2,35849 | 18:40:20 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 396,75 | 18:40:20 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 185,31 | 18:34:19 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 3,55055 | 18:34:14 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 89,4 | 18:33:39 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 3,55949 | 18:33:29 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 10 | 18:33:18 |
| Yobit | $0.01340 | 3,55949 | 18:33:18 |
There is very little data yet, because the coin is not even on the market yet, and the pre-distribution will not happen earlier than in a week. Although there is nothing surprising here: the Yobit exchange is known for its desire to run ahead of the locomotive. If we consider the Gram to ruble exchange rate, then the situation here is better than with the dollar. The rate ranges from 3 to 7 rubles. But with dollars, as you can see, the price does not reach even a few cents.
The following chart will help you make a forecast about how the Gram cryptocurrency will behave:
Forecasts for 2022
It is impossible to forecast the rate of the Gram cryptocurrency for 2022, because, in fact, this cryptocurrency does not yet officially exist. This is just a project that will soon be implemented.
We have already talked about the starting price for the cryptocurrency from Telegram, but it is almost impossible to predict what its further development will be. But there are prerequisites for a good start. In particular:
- Famous developers. For any ICO, the reputation of the developer is important. The Durov brothers' reputation goes far ahead of them. It is logical that as soon as the coin appears, people will literally fight for it;
- The thoughtfulness of the cryptocurrency itself. Here, as you already understood from all of the above, everything is also excellent;
- Availability of a wallet. Even though the wallet has not yet been released, there are already clearly defined limits on when the wallet can be used;
- Exchanges that will cooperate with the coin. The presence of pairs on exchanges is the main condition for the success of cryptocurrency. But even in this case, exchange support is guaranteed. And again, thanks to the impeccable reputation of the developers;
- Good base. ICOs are done to raise money and create a base. Only there is a base. Few people do not know about Telegram - one of the most powerful messengers.
Putting all these facts together, even if we talk about a rate of several hundred dollars per Gram coin, there will be no mistake. But we'll see if this forecast comes true at the end of 2022.
Methods for purchasing gramm using fiat currencies
At the time of the ICO of cryptocurrency from telegramm, users will only be able to purchase tokens. At the beginning of 2022, users expected the start of the preliminary sale of tokens, but Durov decided to place closed securities for potential investors, which would allow them to participate in the redistribution of TON coins. In just a few months, Durov’s team was able to raise the planned investment of $850 million. At the same time, the principle of investment placement differed from what the user community expected.
Millions of users cannot calm down, waiting for official comments from Pavel Durov on how the purchase of coins will be carried out and when their mass sales will begin.
Some open sources stated that in March 2018 the public trading of ICO Telegram will start. As a result, this led to the emergence of a mass of fraudulent sites that fraudulently seize funds from the population under the guise of collecting funds to obtain gram tokens. Users should be wary of such resources, as it is not yet known how to mine ton and when this cryptocurrency will appear on the market.
The only way to avoid the fate of victims of scammers is to wait for the release of the official Telegram wallet for mining and storing crypto. Only after the start of the launch of this coin is announced by representatives of the management of the telegram, it will be possible to understand what the exchange rate for the crypto coin will be to the ruble and how it can be mined.
In addition, there is no exact information yet about where and how the sale of currency tokens from Durov will take place. It is likely that their implementation will take place within the framework of the new crypto exchange or through the telegram application. All these factors will have an impact on how much the cryptocurrency from Pavel Durov will cost at the start of sales.
Prospects for the TON blockchain and Gram cryptocurrency - expert opinions
Despite their popularity, blockchain networks have many disadvantages. In particular, blockchain cannot replace bank cards, since the low transaction speed creates a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, the cryptocurrency market is expanding and investors are looking for options on where to invest. The TON platform is promising, and its promise lies in the Gram cryptocurrency. This cryptocurrency may soon supplant even more expensive coins. And all thanks to the speed of operations.
Preliminary estimates show that this coin will be able to raise at least three to five billion dollars. Durov says that this project will not be sold, as happened with the social network Vkontakte. He will continue to work on its development.
By the way, Durov has already made an attempt to introduce cryptocurrency into the VKontakte social network. This happened in 2010. But then the attempt failed, since only 1% of users showed interest.
There are many reasonable speculations online about how much TON will cost. Let's look at a few perspectives:
- The first theory is that the new virtual coin will be a competitor for banks. And all thanks to the fact that Telegram will allow you to pay for services and goods at a rate that is more favorable than in a bank;
- The second assumption is that cryptocurrency will not yet compete with Bitcoin and other coins or even bank cards. Even if the tariff is reduced, it is not a fact that the platform will gain the popularity desired by developers as quickly as we would like;
- The third option is that the new project will reduce bank profits. But you should not expect such an effect immediately, but after 6–8 years. Until the network becomes popular, it is too early to talk about prospects;
- There will be no restrictions on the banking network because cryptocurrency has a limited scope of activity. Of course, the platform will have its own audience, but we cannot talk about mass use.
In general, despite the fact that no one guarantees the quick success of the ICO, the future prospects for Gram are quite bright. And not least thanks to the connection with Pavel Durov, whose position commands respect.
TVM (TON Virtual Machine)
The TON virtual machine is a new development in the field of smart contracts.
It is deterministic and stack-based.
Therefore, it is easily scalable and does an excellent job of packing data into cells.
On TVM it is convenient to calculate GRAM expenses for the execution of smart contracts and it is very easy to restore smart contracts.
The constraint model in TVM is built on gas, and elliptic cryptography is implemented on the ed25519 secure curve.
