Stake GRAM with Kiln, enterprise-grade staking
Gram (prev. Toncoin)
What is Gram (formerly Toncoin)?
Gram (GRAM) is the native token of The Open Network (TON), a decentralized blockchain platform originally designed by Telegram and seamlessly integrated into the messaging app. The Open Network comprises several components, including TON blockchains and storage modules, aimed at powering an open internet platform at scale. Following a community vote concluded on June 8, 2026, the token was renamed from Toncoin (TON) to Gram (GRAM) — a display name and ticker change only, with no impact on the underlying network or user assets.

How is GRAM Proof-of-Stake implemented?
GRAM (prev. Toncoin) relies on the DPoS consensus with a set of validators who propose and validate new blocks.
The validator set is determined by the Elector governance smart contract allocating new rounds based on each validator's weight, represented by the amount of tokens delegated to them.
Why should you stake your GRAM?
Staking is one of the safest and most predictable ways to get rewarded in the crypto space as the value originates from the blockchain’s native currency inflation, which makes it forecastable. You help secure the network and earn rewards by staking your GRAM.
If you do not stake, your assets token share will be diluted among other people’s tokens that are being staked and accumulating new tokens into the network.
You can stake your GRAM as well as other (d)PoS cryptocurrencies to:
- 1Put your treasury to work
- 2Diversify and earn, while contributing to blockchains decentralization
- 3Bring new opportunities by enabling your users to earn staking rewards
What are the rewards associated with staking ?
As an incentive for helping to safeguard GRAM, you can get rewarded with up to a 23% GRR*, to be issued in GRAM.

GRAM FAQ
What does Proof-of Stake mean?
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a type of consensus mechanism used to validate cryptocurrency transactions. Through PoS, validators can contribute to the block production of a chain while keeping environmental concerns to a minimum, which is becoming an increasingly large issue in Proof-of-Work.
By staking capital rather than energy, validators risk losing a portion of their value and future potential for staking by misbehaving while creating blocks. This incentives collaboration and fair practices while validating information in a similar way that PoW has with incentives and punishments to curtail malicious activity in the consensus process.
When will I receive staking rewards?
The GRAM Elector smart contract distributes accumulated rewards at the end of each 36h period, which happens every ~18 hours.
Does interest compound when staking GRAM?
Yes, as the rewards are received in the same pool used for staking, Interest compounds on GRAM.
Is there a minimum and maximum amount to stake for GRAM?
It is possible to stake delegating with 1 GRAM.
Do I maintain custody of my GRAM tokens? Is staking non-custodial?
When staking GRAM you need to deposit your tokens into a contract pool and then into the Elector smart contract, making GRAM staking custodial. It is crucial to choose a proven staking provider like Kiln to ensure your tokens can be withdrawn when stopping staking.
What is the lockup period to stake GRAM? When can I unstake and withdraw my GRAM?
The lockup is defined by chain parameters but depends on validator voting time. Kiln lockup for staking will result in a 36h maximum lockup.
What are the risks associated with staking GRAM?
A validator can be penalized should it have insufficient uptime or try behaving against protocol rules. As a result, a validator can be slashed, meaning part of the stake allocated to it will be burned.
How do rewards work on GRAM?
GRAM staking rewards come from the fees paid to pass transactions on the Ton network, as the chain uses GRAM for gas.
What is the average block time on GRAM?
The block time is 5 to 8 seconds on GRAM.
What is a Gross Reward Rate (GRR) and how is it different from a Net Reward Rate (NRR)?
In the context of Proof-of-Stake blockchains, the gross reward rate (GRR) refers to the total or gross amount of rewards earned from staking before deducting any fees or expenses. This is a reward rate that fluctuates with the operations of the protocol and the performance of validators, it is not set by Kiln. The net reward rate (NRR), on the other hand, takes into account the deductions or expenses, providing a measure of the actual rewards received after subtracting fees or costs.
Where can I learn more about GRAM?
You can learn more about GRAM on their official documentation and on the Ton website.
