TON Strategy Company Endorses Network Upgrades for Gram Wallet Integration
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 01, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- TON Strategy Company, a digital asset treasury firm focused on The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, has endorsed two significant network upgrades, Config -123 and Config 30, aimed at bolstering the network’s infrastructure and enhancing user experience. These upgrades are crucial steps in the ongoing development of the TON network, particularly in relation to Telegram’s native Gram Wallet.
Config -123 introduces a smart contract architecture designed to support Telegram’s Gram Wallet. In a statement released on August 31, Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, announced that the Gram Wallet is now accessible to a select group of Telegram users, with a planned gradual rollout to the broader user base over the coming weeks. Durov highlighted that the wallet operates on a validator-approved smart contract, which is a significant advancement in decentralized finance (DeFi) technology.
The smart contract architecture allows for a more scalable and maintainable wallet framework. Instead of embedding the full wallet logic in each individual wallet, a small, permanent smart contract references shared wallet logic maintained at the network level. This approach enables the core wallet software to be updated consistently across all Telegram wallets through validator governance, without requiring individual users to migrate or update their wallet contracts. The initial version of the smart contract includes essential features such as signature verification, transaction execution, replay protection, and key rotation. It is designed to support additional functionalities like two-factor authentication and recurring payments in the future.
Kevin Wilson, CEO of TON Strategy Company, emphasized the practicality of this architecture in a statement: "Blockchain infrastructure has historically pushed too much technical complexity onto the user. Config -123 takes a different approach: the wallet stays in place while the software behind it can evolve through network governance. This is a practical architecture for bringing wallets to hundreds of millions of users—and another example of TON designing blockchain infrastructure to function more like the modern internet: scalable, upgradeable, and largely invisible to the end user."
Additionally, Config 30 extends the validator leader windows, reducing coordination overhead and increasing network throughput by up to 30%. This upgrade is expected to significantly enhance the network's capacity to process transactions, thereby supporting greater transaction activity.
Together, Config -123 and Config 30 advance two critical components of network scale: the infrastructure to support greater transaction activity and the wallet architecture to bring that infrastructure to a significantly broader user base. These upgrades are part of TON Strategy Company's broader strategy to accumulate and stake GRAM, the native cryptocurrency of Telegram's platform, for long-term investment and to support the development of a tokenized economy within Telegram.
TON Strategy Company, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker TONX, remains committed to the growth and development of the TON ecosystem. However, the company cautions that its financial performance and the market price of its common stock may be affected by the price of GRAM and the broader digital asset regulatory landscape. The company also faces risks related to compliance with applicable regulations and the availability of staking opportunities.
In summary, these upgrades represent significant strides in the TON network's development, enhancing both its technical capabilities and user experience. They are part of a larger effort to make blockchain technology more accessible and user-friendly on a scale that could potentially support hundreds of millions of users.
