Frequently asked questions

• How can I securely purchase Gram (GRAM) using Colombian Pesos (COP) via a fiat on-ramp?

  To buy Gram (GRAM) with Colombian Pesos (COP), you need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat gateway in Colombia. The most common method is utilizing peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms that support COP deposits. Popular local payment methods for this digital asset purchase include PSE (Pagos Seguros en Línea), Bancolombia, Nequi, or Daviplata. After completing KYC/AML compliance checks, you can exchange your COP liquidity directly for GRAM or first buy a stablecoin like USDT to trade on the open order book.

• What is the underlying blockchain technology and utility of the GRAM token within The Open Network?

  GRAM, historically associated with The Open Network (TON), operates as a utility token within a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem. The TON blockchain utilizes a dynamic sharding mechanism and a robust Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus to achieve massive transaction throughput. Users need GRAM to pay for network processing fees, interact with decentralized applications (dApps on TON), execute smart contracts, and utilize Web3 integrations like decentralized storage and TON DNS.

• What is the most secure way to store GRAM after exchanging from COP?

  Once you complete your COP to GRAM blockchain transaction, transferring your tokens off the cryptocurrency exchange to a non-custodial digital wallet is a critical security best practice. The TON ecosystem offers specific Web3 wallets, such as Tonkeeper or the integrated Telegram Wallet, which support the native network architecture. Ensure you securely back up your seed phrase, as these non-custodial solutions give you complete control over your digital assets, protecting your GRAM from potential centralized exchange vulnerabilities.

• What are the expected transaction fees and processing times when trading COP for GRAM?

  The processing time and fee structure depend on your chosen fiat gateway for the COP deposit and the network state. Bank transfers via PSE or Nequi in Colombia are typically processed within minutes to a few hours, though P2P escrow services might charge a small premium on the exchange rate. Once the fiat is converted, transferring GRAM on the TON blockchain is exceptionally fast, often settling in seconds due to its advanced sharding architecture. The native network processing fees are also highly cost-effective compared to traditional PoW blockchains.

• Can I participate in network consensus by staking the GRAM tokens I bought with COP?

  Yes, because The Open Network utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, you can stake your GRAM tokens to help secure the network and validate transactions. By delegating your digital assets to a validator node through a supported TON wallet or a dedicated staking pool, you can earn cryptographic rewards. This provides utility beyond simply holding the token, allowing participants to actively engage in the blockchain's governance and security infrastructure.
