How to Buy Gram (GRAM)

Gram (GRAM) is the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network—a high-performance blockchain originally developed by Telegram. Designed for speed, scalability, and seamless integration with real-world applications, GRAM aims to deliver Web3 experiences to millions of users through fast transactions and user-friendly decentralized services.

GRAM powers a wide range of decentralized applications, including secured messaging, domain name services, and decentralized finance (DeFi). GRAM's architecture is designed to support millions of transactions per second (TPS) in theory, while real-world benchmarks currently demonstrate throughput in the thousands, placing it among the more scalable blockchain platforms.

GRAM provides the infrastructure for transactions, dApp usage, and on-chain service development within the ecosystem, supporting a range of digital interactions through its integration with Telegram and other platforms
