Apparently, the name of the platform would be Telegram Open Network (TON) and the cryptocurrency will be called Gram.

Just a few hours ago, the first information came out after the leak of a former worker, named Anton Rozenberg, from the company that has revealed the company's plans. In addition, a video has been uploaded to YouTube with the alleged Telegram announcement.

Telegram enters the cryptocurrency market

Apparently, an ICO is going to be integrated into the instant messaging application. This new platform developed by the company will be natively integrated into many of today's most popular messaging applications. Although it has not been specified how. Also, the network is expected to use lightweight wallets so there is no need to download a heavy and complex blockchain.

From the company they have not yet spoken before these rumors. Although it would not be crazy to think that Gram and Telegram Open Network are about to arrive. In addition, it would be a way to monetize the application without the need to insert ads.

We hope to learn more about the company's plans in the coming hours. Because it certainly promises to be news of great importance. In addition to seeking to revolutionize the already hectic cryptocurrency market. What do you think of the company's decision?
