TON and Hedera Top Activity Increase This Week
@Ton_blockchain shows a 66% increase in transaction activity on Chainspect, which makes it the fastest-growing Layer-1 protocol on a daily basis.
@Hedera comes second, with a 56% increase in on-chain volume, while @Avax takes third with a 30% increase.
This trend indicates an overall increase in network usage, driven by the scaling mini-app ecosystem for $TON and more enterprise settlement transactions for $HBAR.
Gram wallet is the simple entry point for newcomers.
Wallet is the next step for anyone ready to go further: spot trading and futures, Earn programs, tokenized stocks, ETFs and Gold. One app to actively manage your crypto, not just hold it.
A lot of people who were very supportive of $GRAM and what @durov is doing are now fudding the timeline
Personally you have all diminished any kind of respect the community had for you.
You’re either
1. A clown 🤡 looking for attention
Or 2. You have 0 patience and believe that you know more about how to operate a business than a multi billionaire founder.
Some of you guys honestly don’t deserve what’s coming to the @ton_blockchain
Do us all a favor and sell your bags so we don’t have to hear you cry everyday on the TL
To the ones who are accumulating and patiently waiting, our time is coming.
Trust the process and trust @durov. This is where winners are made.
Robinhood chain went from $0 to $700m
Imagine what happens when the 'best marketer' Pavel Durov takes over at TON Blockchain / $GRAM
Naturally he must be quiet as there got to be huge things coming
Like the summer release of the wallet inside telegram
How can you not be bullish
🚨 TON validators have finished voting on the launch of Gram Wallet.
The proposal is now resolved, and the wallet is ready to launch.
The vote can be tracked through the TON mainnet governance dashboard. (https://t.co/yiWFwczwoW)
$GW
Telegram turned 1B+ users into potential on-chain users.
$GRAM is the ticket.
Wallets. Gifts. Identity. Mini Apps. Payments. DeFi.
The infrastructure is already here.
The distribution is already here.
And Telegram is only getting started.
This is bigger than TON.
We are not ready.
🧵
🚨 $GRAM JUST LAUNCHED SOMETHING BIG.
A brand-new Telegram-native GRAM wallet contract just appeared in the official $GRAM repository.
Not v4. Not v5.
A completely new wallet implementation built specifically for Telegram.
⚡️ Automatic wallet upgrades
⚡️ Up to 255 messages in one transaction
⚡️ Gasless transfers
⚡️ Telegram creates the wallet → users can take it into self-custody
⚡️ 2FA + subscriptions planned natively
This could be the infrastructure behind hundreds of millions of Telegram users entering $GRAM.
And this is only the beginning.

It's happening right now.
TON validators are voting to put the Gram Wallet contract code straight into the blockchain's own configuration. That's the native Telegram wallet.
Right now 291 of 385 validators have voted. That's 73.86% of the network's weight and it needs 75%, so 3 more validators to go.
This round closes in 17 hours, and it needs to pass two separate rounds before it's locked in. Final deadline is September 8.
They're voting on a second thing at the same time: bumping the leader window from 4 slots to 16, which pushes TON’s TPS up by around 30%.

More room on the network, and the wallet going into the chain itself.
🚨 BREAKING: Gram Wallet has cleared the first round of TON validator voting, with 86.71% of total validator weight in favor. 327 of 385 validators have voted.
The vote concerns the network infrastructure required for Gram Wallet to operate natively inside Telegram, marking a major step toward its launch.
Two winning rounds are required. The first is secured — one remains.
TON just saw a very unusual spike in network activity.
The chart shows transactions jumping from the usual ~30–60 TPS to 1,081 TPS at 14:00 - roughly 20× the normal level.
And the timing is interesting.
Just before this, TON Status explicitly warned mainnet validators to prepare for increased network load, with collator configuration, QUIC connectivity and system requirements highlighted. (Tlmtr)
This makes several scenarios possible:
1. Gram Wallet preparation / testing
TON Core has already said that the activation of collators was scheduled for a period of significant load growth because the native non-custodial wallet in Telegram is expected to increase network activity. (Telegram)
That does NOT prove the 1,081 TPS spike is caused by Gram Wallet.
But the infrastructure preparation + sudden load spike is definitely worth watching.
2. Large-scale stress test
The spike could be generated intentionally to test how the new collator architecture handles extreme traffic.
TON recently separated block generation from validation, specifically to increase throughput. (Telegram)
3. A real application or mass transaction event
It could also be organic activity from a large Telegram mini-app, token distribution, mint, or another application suddenly sending huge numbers of transactions.
The important part: 1,081 TPS by itself doesn’t tell us who generated the transactions.
Why this matters
TON has spent months preparing its infrastructure for exactly this type of situation.
Now we’re seeing:
→ collators activated
→ network limits being adjusted
→ TON Core warning validators about increased load
→ and suddenly a ~1,000+ TPS spike appears.
The biggest question now isn’t whether TON can hit 1,000 TPS.
It’s what caused this particular spike — and whether it is the beginning of something much larger.
If this activity continues or another spike appears, the Gram Wallet theory becomes much more interesting.
For now, I would call it a strong signal, not confirmation of a launch.
There is actually a much stronger connection here than I initially thought.
TON Core previously explained why collators are being activated now.
According to TON Core, the collator architecture had been waiting for a period of significant network load growth - and they specifically mentioned that the launch and further development of a native non-custodial wallet in Telegram are expected to increase network activity.
Now look at what happened next:
1. TON activated collators
Validators no longer need to handle the entire block assembly process themselves. Dedicated collators can assemble blocks, increasing the potential throughput of the network.
2. TON increased block capacity
Validators then voted to increase the maximum block size and enable the governance infrastructure related to collators.
3. TON suddenly warned about increased network load
Validators were urgently told to add the public collator list, fix their QUIC ports and update their infrastructure.
TON even warned that validators ignoring these requirements could face slashing.
4. Now there is another mandatory configuration vote
The proposal is to move Config 30 to the stable protocol version — the same part of the network configuration connected to the newer consensus architecture and QUIC.
So the sequence looks like this:
New architecture → higher capacity → validators prepare for increased load → another protocol configuration update.
What could actually be coming?
The strongest candidate is Gram Wallet.
Not because of random speculation.
TON Core itself has already connected the current infrastructure upgrade with the expected increase in activity from Telegram's native non-custodial wallet.
If Telegram suddenly opens such a wallet to a large number of users, the effect would be immediate:
• new wallets
• transfers
• token interactions
• on-chain payments
• swaps and other Web3 activity
Even onboarding a relatively small fraction of Telegram's audience could create a completely different level of activity for TON.
MTONGA Step 5 is another possibility
If Step 5 includes a major Telegram × TON integration, the same preparation would make sense.
However, there is currently zero direct evidence connecting the validator updates to MTONGA Step 5, so I wouldn't present this as the main theory.
There is also a more technical explanation
This could simply be the final stage of rolling out the new collator + Simplex + QUIC architecture before TON raises network limits further.
In other words, TON may be preparing the infrastructure before opening the door to higher activity, rather than because a specific product launches tomorrow.
But the interesting part is that TON Core has already explained what kind of future growth this architecture was designed for:
the native non-custodial wallet in Telegram.
So no, this is still not confirmation that Gram Wallet launches tomorrow.
But after connecting all the announcements, the theory is no longer based only on timing.
TON is literally upgrading its architecture for significant load growth - and TON Core has specifically named Telegram's native non-custodial wallet as one of the expected sources of that growth.
Tomorrow's Config 30 vote may show whether TON is now completing the final technical preparation before the network is ready for something much bigger.
🚨 JUST IN: TON network activity surged to 735 processed messages per second during a sharp spike — and the blockchain stayed online.
$TON absorbed the load and kept running.
BULLISH.
