How to Buy Toncoin (Gram)

What happened to Toncoin?

According to the help center of Walt (the crypto wallet that runs inside Telegram, formerly called Wallet), only the name, ticker and logo changed: your address and balance are the same, and you don't need to do anything. Exchanges converted TON balances to GRAM at 1 TON = 1 GRAM:

• Binance: removed the TON pairs and opened GRAM trading on 2 July 2026. In its official market data on 20 October 2026, the old TON/USDT pair is halted and GRAM/USDT is trading.
• KuCoin: announced the 1:1 conversion was complete on 15 June 2026.

If you search an exchange for "TON" and find nothing, or a halted pair, that's why.

Withdrawing GRAM: the memo (comment) matters

According to the official TON docs, some services receive deposits on one shared address and tell customers apart by an identifier in the comment field (exchanges may call it Memo or Tag). The docs say it plainly: deposits without the correct identifier may be lost.

1. On the receiving exchange: Deposit → GRAM → TON network → copy the address, plus the memo/comment if one is shown.
2. On Binance: Assets → Overview → Send → Withdraw Asset → GRAM.
3. Paste the address, choose the TON network, and paste the memo into the MEMO field if the receiving exchange gave you one.
4. Enter the amount. The withdrawal fee appears on screen after you enter the amount. Fees change, so we don't quote a fixed number.
5. Confirm with 2FA. First time? Send a small amount first.

Binance warns that leaving out a required memo can cost you your funds. Full guides: Withdraw from Binance · What's a memo.

Buying inside Telegram (Walt)

The crypto wallet that runs inside Telegram, previously known as Wallet, now appears as Walt (its help center moved from wallet.tg to walt.io). According to its help center:

• It has a P2P Market where you can buy GRAM with your currency: Deposit → P2P Market → Buy → pick an ad → pay from your own account → Confirm Payment and upload the receipt.
• Identity verification (KYC) is required to trade on P2P, and the payment method must be in your name.
• Deposits to it need no comment/memo, but check the asset and network before sending.

Gram (Toncoin)-specific warnings

• "Swap TON for GRAM" or "activate GRAM" is a scam. Walt says so explicitly. The conversion happened automatically, and there's no site or bot you need.
• Fake tokens with the same name: on TON anyone can create a token (a jetton) called "TON" or "GRAM" and send it to your wallet. The real coin is the network's own currency, not a token that suddenly appeared.
• Telegram bots and "investment" messages: never give any bot your recovery phrase or login code.
• The price swings a lot. Don't put in money you need. Read: P2P scams.
