Recently, we have been receiving complaints regarding a group of fraudsters trading GRAM coins from the TON testnet and deceiving people that those will be used in the real network. It is obvious that Telegram representatives cannot ban each and everyone engaged in such activity on their own, so please do not hesitate to click “Report” if you encounter such announcements or individuals offering GRAM from the testnet.

The reason behind this warning is simple: we were the world’s first project to announce integration with TON and pilot Telegram Passport authorization within the Early Access Campaign framework, the fact highlighted on Telegram’s official blog. We do also support @tonorg, a channel providing all the up-to-date TON-related news and updates (it published TON’s first-ever video two years ago), and our validator—CAT—is one of the largest nodes on the TON testnet. Scammers attempt to sell GRAM for BIP, disguising the facts mentioned above as the actual integration.

GRAM is not on the market, and TON has not been launched yet. If you do not want to miss the moment Telegram Open Network goes live, follow @tonorg.
