Gram Wallet to Get a Dedicated Smart Contract New lines of code related to a dedicated smart contract for the upcoming Gram Wallet in Telegram have appeared on GitHub. They already reveal several potential features of the wallet: • The smart contract code can be updated centrally for all wallets through the TON configuration. Changes will be applied after a validator vote, without requiring users to update each wallet individually. • The contract supports gasless transactions – transaction fees can be paid in the token being transferred. For example, when transferring USDT, users will be able to pay the fee in USDT even if they have no GRAM in their balance. • The contract supports batch operations – up to 255 messages in a single call. This will allow multiple transfers to be combined into one operation, for example, sending 10 GRAM to multiple wallets at once. • The contract includes the ability to link a Telegram ID to a wallet. An experimental branch is already testing the storage of the Telegram ID directly in the smart contract data. • Additional features, including 2FA and subscriptions, could be added at the contract level in the future. Like other wallets, Gram Wallet will support tokens, NFTs, and connections to dApps via TON Connect.

TON Is Preparing for Increased Network Load In the TON Status channel, validators were asked to prepare for possible increased load on the blockchain. Similar warnings were previously issued ahead of airdrops by major services, such as Hamster and Kombat. It is possible that the blockchain is preparing for increased load related to the launch of the non-custodial wallet Gram Wallet in Telegram, which Pavel Durov previously announced for this summer.
