How Gram (Toncoin) and TRON are built
How Gram (Toncoin) works
TON uses Proof of Stake and a multi-chain architecture: a masterchain coordinates workchains that can split into shards to handle more transactions in parallel. Tokens on TON follow the Jetton standard.
What Gram (Toncoin) is for
The coin pays fees on TON and is used in wallets and mini-apps inside Telegram, for payments, staking and trading of Jettons such as USDT on TON.
How TRON works
TRON uses Delegated Proof of Stake: 27 Super Representatives elected by TRX holders produce a block every 3 seconds. Instead of paying fees directly, users can stake TRX to receive "bandwidth" and "energy" resources; without them, the network burns TRX to cover the fee.
What TRON is for
TRX is used to pay for transactions and smart contracts on TRON — above all USDT TRC20 transfers — and for staking and voting.
