Telegram 最终向公众提供 Gram 代币，预售将于 7 月 10 日开始

消息应用巨头 Telegram 的 gram 代币曾于 2018 年初在有史以来最大的 ICO 中出售给合格投资者，现在终于向公众发售。

Messaging app giant Telegram’s gram token, which was previously sold to accredited investors in the biggest initial coin offering (ICO) of all time, will finally be offered to the public.

消息应用巨头 Telegram 的 gram 代币此前曾在有史以来最大的首次代币发行 (ICO) 中出售给合格投资者，现在终于将向公众发行。

A limited sale of the gram token will take place on the Liquid exchange starting July 10, TechCrunch reported Monday. The offering is said to be ahead of a full public sale planned for October. The price of the token and the targeted total for the raise are yet to be disclosed.

据 TechCrunch 周一报道，从 7 月 10 日开始，gram 代币将在 Liquid 交易所进行有限销售。据称，此次发行将在计划于 10 月份进行的全面公开发售之前进行。代币的价格和筹集资金的目标总额尚未披露。

The sale is being conducted through Gram Asia, which, according to TechCrunch, is a Korean entity that claims to be the largest holder of the gram token. Liquid’s website describes the firm as a “trusted partner” of Telegram.

此次销售是通过 Gram Asia 进行的，据 TechCrunch 报道，该公司是一家韩国实体，自称是 gram 代币的最大持有者。 Liquid 的网站将该公司描述为 Telegram 的“值得信赖的合作伙伴”。

Grams were earlier sold only to accredited investors in Telegram’s massive two-phase ICO in February and March of 2018 – a sale that brought in about $1.7 billion and was easily the largest fundraise made via a crypto token offering.

早些时候，Gram 在 2018 年 2 月和 3 月的 Telegram 大规模两阶段 ICO 中仅出售给经过认可的投资者，此次出售带来了约 17 亿美元的资金，很容易成为通过加密代币发行进行的最大筹款活动。

The funds were to be used to develop the Telegram Open Network (TON), an ambitious blockchain designed to decentralize various aspects of digital communication, from file sharing to browsing to transactions.

这些资金将用于开发 Telegram 开放网络（TON），这是一个雄心勃勃的区块链，旨在分散数字通信的各个方面，从文件共享到浏览再到交易。

“TON brings speed and scalability to a multi-blockchain architecture that caters to the need for minimal transaction times and airtight security,” reads the gram sale page on Liquid’s website.

Liquid 网站上的 gram 销售页面写道：“TON 为多区块链架构带来了速度和可扩展性，满足了最短交易时间和严密安全性的需求。”

It also states that the sale is open to all investors worldwide, except for some nations including the U.S. and its territories and Japan, likely due to concerns that the token could be deemed a security in those jurisdictions.

它还指出，除了美国及其领土和日本等一些国家外，此次销售对全球所有投资者开放，可能是因为担心该代币在这些司法管辖区可能被视为证券。

As CoinDesk previously reported, it was unclear whether Telegram would ever hold a public sale at all, given such regulatory risks.

正如 CoinDesk 之前报道的那样，鉴于此类监管风险，目前尚不清楚 Telegram 是否会进行公开发售。

It’s also important to note that any gram tokens sold in the upcoming offering will not be immediately available for trading.

还需要注意的是，即将推出的产品中出售的任何 gram 代币都不会立即用于交易。

“The tokens being sold will not be released until after TON goes live (mainnet release), in accordance with the delivery schedule,” the website states, adding that purchasers will not be able to transfer, withdraw or trade the grams before they are released.

该网站称，“根据交付时间表，待出售的代币将在 TON 上线（主网发布）后才会释放”，并补充说，购买者在释放之前将无法转让、提取或交易克币。

Investors signing up to Liquid for the sale can purchase grams with either U.S. dollars or the USDC stablecoin. A full token launch is expected by the end of October, the website indicates.

签约 Liquid 进行销售的投资者可以使用美元或 USDC 稳定币购买克。该网站表示，预计将于 10 月底全面推出代币。
