What is this new Gram Wallet?

Telegram is launching a built-in, fully non-custodial Gram Wallet straight inside your Settings menu. You get a 24-word seed phrase (yep, 24 words, keep it safe!), and ZERO KYC identity verification is required. Absolute privacy. You are officially your own bank

Why did Durov pull this move?

Simple: To navigate global regulatory crackdowns like Europe’s strict MiCA rules. While governments can easily freeze centralized, custodial corporate structures, they cannot freeze a decentralized, self-custodial wallet controlled directly by you on the blockchain. Durov just handed power back to the users by decoupling the main platform from centralized liability

History in the making?

Buckle up. This is officially the largest and fastest Web3 onboarding deployment ever. We are talking about pushing self-custody crypto infrastructure straight to 1 billion active users! To stop the blockchain from literally melting under massive server traffic, it’s rolling out in phased batches. The rollout kicked off on September 1st, so some lucky users have it right now, and the rest will see it automatically over the next two weeks

Wait... did @wallet lose its blue checkmark?
No, they didn’t get banned! The official verification checkmark is gone for now, idk why , iam sure blue check mark fade for temporary

The Great Name Swap! As you already know, the TON name changed to Gram, but the blockchain name is still TON
Don't be confused about the names. The network token legally changed its identity back to Gram after a community vote. Clean split!

The death of t.me and the birth of .gram ?

Remember when t.me short links randomly went down a while back because a sanctioned entity caused US OFAC compliance flags at the domain registry? Durov said "never again" and officially applied to ICANN for a native top-level domain named .gram. Imagine your link being yourname.gram! I personally love this
