# GRAM -  THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF PAVEL DUROV

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**GRAM PRESENTATION:**</mark> Telegram's engineers worked on TON, an advanced blockchain platform, and Gram, a cryptocurrency, aiming for superior decentralization. Despite successful technology creation and the potential to revolutionize fund transfers, a US court stopped TON's progress, leading Telegram to discontinue the GRAM project. \
\
[**A community was built on those fundamentals and decided to launch $GRAM token on TON Open Network. To complete Pavel Durov's project and create a community token that is fully decentralized, operated, and governed by an engaged community.**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
{% endhint %}

We were very proud with the result – the community of $GRAM we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. When integrated with Telegram, GRAM has united a community which is getting bigger with the movement bigger on a daily basis.\
\
\
For **long-term newcomers**, this token will act as a reminder what can a community achieve with a great narrative and allow you to find a safe crypto enviroment for your holdings and network.
