How Gram (Toncoin) and Solana are built
How Gram (Toncoin) works
At the base are Proof of Stake and a multichain scheme: a masterchain governs workchains, and those split into shards as load grows and process transactions in parallel. The token standard is called Jetton.
What Gram (Toncoin) is for
The coin pays TON fees; the same coin is used by wallets and mini-apps inside Telegram — for payments, staking and deals with Jetton tokens, including USDT on the TON network.
How Solana works
On top of Proof of Stake it runs Proof of History — a cryptographic clock that sets the order of transactions. A slot lasts about 400 milliseconds, and processing runs in parallel. The SPL standard is used for tokens.
What Solana is for
Network fees are paid in SOL, and the same coin is staked to secure the blockchain. Solana hosts decentralised exchanges, payment services, NFT marketplaces and dozens of well-known tokens.
