πͺ Toncoin Name Change β Community Vote
TON has changed substantially in recent months. Telegram is taking on a leading role in the network and is becoming its largest validator. The chain itself is now 10Γ faster with fees down 6Γ. Gram was the name the network's founders gave the token in the original TON White Paper, and it's never left the codebase.
That is why Telegram is proposing to rename the native token from Toncoin to Gram, a fitting moment to bring it forward.
The blockchain stays TON / The Open Network, only the token's name and ticker change. Balances, addresses, contracts, NFTs, staking, DeFi, all unchanged. No swap, bridge, claim, or migration. No action required.
β οΈ Any site, bot, or link asking you to "claim GRAM" or "migrate TON" is a scam.

Introducing Acton β a new, modern toolchain for developing smart contracts on TON
Acton covers the full development lifecycle: project creation, testing, debugging, dApp integration, deployment, and verification.
CLI-first by design, it works naturally for both developers and AI agents.
1. One toolchain, not a bunch of utilities
Create, build, test, lint, format, deploy, and verify TON contracts in a single coherent environment around Tolk.
2. A tighter build-test-debug loop
Write tests directly in Tolk programming language, run them fast, debug failed transactions, and inspect what actually happened on-chain.
3. Security built in
Coverage, fuzzing, mutation testing, gas profiling, and CI help catch regressions early.
4. A native debugger
Step in, step over, step out, watch variables, and inspect the call stack. A smooth Web2-style developer experience, now inside a blockchain language.
5. Friendly for AI agents
A modern CLI tool that becomes an agent's runtime, with skills and manuals bundled.
6. IDE integtation
Use it with VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Zed, and other LSPβbased editors.

Blockchain Fee Reduction
The TON Core team has prepared a blockchain update to reduce fees by 6x, in line with Pavel Durovβs MTONGA plan.
This update includes:
1) Performance improvements
The previous Sub-Second update improved not only operation speed but also overall blockchain performance, making a fee reduction possible. Since then, additional optimizations and performance improvements have also been implemented, including a new mempool based on a persistent Cartesian tree.
2) Fixes
In addition to performance improvements, this update will include fixes for issues identified on mainnet after the Sub-Second release. In particular, it addresses loss of synchronization on some liteservers and rare block rate instability.
Planned Schedule:
April 28, 2026 12:00 UTC β Validator software update.
April 30, 2026 13:00 UTC β Vote to lower gas prices in the blockchain configuration.
Lower fees are important for the next stages of the MTONGA plan. Since fees do not constitute a significant portion of validator rewards, validator rewards are expected to decrease by less than 0.4%.
Mainnet validator operators are asked to be prepared to update their software on 28 April and to participate in the vote on 30 April.

TON is now 6x faster. Catchain 2.0 activation now live.
The voting for Catchain 2.0 has been successfully passed. Activation took place around 7:00 a.m. UTC.
Alongside faster block production, this creates a new opportunity for Toncoin holders.
Validators stake Toncoin to help secure the TON network and earn Toncoin from two sources: transaction fees and block creation rewards.
After the upgrade, the reward for each block remains the same: 1.7 Toncoin per masterchain block and 1.0 Toncoin per basechain block. With blocks produced much faster (~x6), validators are able to produce more blocks, which increases rewards per validation cycle. As a result, TONβs annual inflation is expected to rise from around 0.6% to around 3.6%.
For Toncoin holders, this makes staking more attractive. As validator rewards rise, the incentive to hold and stake Toncoin to secure the TON network becomes stronger.
At the same time, TON retains its burn mechanism, 50% of transaction fees are burned, which offsets part of the added issuance as activity grows. In the future, validators may vote to update rewards and burn mechanics to further balance TONβs tokenomics.
For users, that means two things:
β near-instant transactions
β more attractive staking
The blockchain is faster. Apps need to catch up. Read the integration guide to support the upgrade.
Faster chain. Better user experience. Better opportunities.

π TON is Now Up to 6x Faster
Sub-second finality is live.
Transactions now confirm in about 1 second, down from around 10 seconds before. Block times dropped from 2.5 seconds to 400 milliseconds to bring the on-chain experience closer to Web2 responsiveness.
What this unlocks:
Payments that feel like sending a message, trades that execute in real time, and apps that match the speed users expect from any modern product.
What this changes:
The network now produces more blocks, which increases validator rewards and strengthens staking incentives across the ecosystem.
For developers:
The blockchain is now fast. Your apps need to show it. Upgrade to streaming APIs to surface sub-second speed for your users.

Catchain 2.0 activation is underway
TON validators are voting to fully activate Catchain 2.0, a consensus upgrade that brings sub-second finality to the network.
The first phase has been live since April 2. Today, at 14:00 UTC, the final vote started to cut block times to 400 ms across the entire network.
To activate the upgrade, validators vote on-chain. The proposal needs support from at least 75% of validators (by stake weight) across two validation rounds, roughly 36 hours.
