Gram Wallet Becomes Available on Telegram

Telegram has begun rolling out its new non-custodial wallet, Gram Wallet. For now, it is available to a limited number of users. To make the wallet appear for other users, they must receive a transfer of at least 0.1 Gram from another user.

Gram Wallet uses a separate smart contract called WalletTg, which differs from the wallet contracts used by other non-custodial apps, including My Wallet and Keeper. The channel previously covered the features of the new smart contract: t.me/infotonen/331.

One of the wallet’s features is the ability to send Gram up to five times per day without blockchain fees, either to other Telegram users or to a wallet address. However, the first transaction incurs a fee to initialize the smart contract.

Currently, Gram Wallet supports Gram and Telegram-related NFTs, including gifts, collectible usernames, and anonymous numbers.

If other tokens or NFTs are sent to a Gram Wallet address, they will not appear in the wallet interface. However, they can be recovered using another non-custodial wallet that supports the WalletTg smart contract.

Gram Wallet should not be confused with the Gram balance in Telegram, which was recently renamed Gram Earnings. These are two different features: the Gram balance can be used to purchase gifts on Telegram Resell and submit offers to channels to publish posts, while transferring funds directly from this balance to the new Gram Wallet is currently not possible.
