GRM is the first Proof-of-Work Jetton on the TON blockchain, launched by a third-party community in January 2024 under the name "Gram." Its emission is 5 billion tokens, distributed through PoW Givers — public smart contracts from which miners extract tokens by solving Proof-of-Work tasks.
⚠️ Don't confuse GRM with any of the "real" Grams:
- it is not the original Gram from Telegram (2018, blocked by the SEC);
- it is not the native coin Gram (GRAM) (which was called Toncoin from 2021 to 2026).
GRM is a standalone community project on TON that leverages a recognizable name. Telegram and Pavel Durov explicitly deny any connection to projects like this.

Authorship and disputes#
Two weeks before the PoW token's release, a parallel token appeared bearing the same name and a whitepaper that described the project as "Pavel Durov's unfinished business." Durov and Telegram explicitly deny any connection to such projects — Durov's 2020 warning about counterfeits using the Gram / TON names still stands.
