Telegram’s Gram Wallet (GRM) alpha version is now available for iOS.
On Sept 26th, Telegram reported that its Gram wallet is active in the instant messaging app’s alpha version for iOS. The wallet is currently active on Telegram Open Network (TON) Testnet.
Basic functions for now
Fyodor Skuratov of software startup TON Labs said that the Telegram’s built-in wallet will only have the basic features as the wallet design is not finalized.
He added that for advanced functions like purchasing and exchanging grams users can address third-party developers.

Users can as of yet “only create and delete a wallet, receive and send Grams, and share their wallet address.”
Telegram released the TON Testnet explorer in early September. Two anonymous testers revealed that the blockchain had high transaction speed.
Gram’s listing on exchanges
Blackmoon, a Caymans island registered exchange revealed plans to list the Gram token through a partnership with Swiss crypto custodian Gram Vault.
Japan’s crypto exchange Liquid claimed that “it would be the representative of sales of Gram tokens for Gram Asia”. Although the announcement was later scrapped by sources close to Telegram.
Telegram’s Gram token would be revealed in October followed by a process of planned public testing for the TON.
