Telegram Launches New Self-Custodial Wallet
Telegram, led by founder Pavel Durov, announced the launch of a new self-custodial crypto wallet. The wallet, integrated into the Telegram app, allows users to receive Gram tokens and manage their funds directly. The feature was activated when users received Gram tokens, and it supports GRAM transfers and payments for gifts and collectible usernames. The wallet runs on The Open Network, which renamed itself from Toncoin to Gram in June. The network currently has over one billion monthly users and about 329,952 registrations per day, according to a dashboard shared by Durov on November 9. The wallet's active count is tracked by the Gram blockchain explorer, which requires an on-chain transaction to count as active.
