Wallet in Telegram rebrands as Walt as Telegram prepares Gram wallet
- Published
Telegram renamed its custodial Wallet bot to Walt while introducing a separate Gram Wallet inside the app. The rollout keeps existing user accounts, balances, and wallet addresses unchanged, and Walt is listed as supporting more than 300 assets. Gram Wallet is described as a non-custodial option for internal payments and peer-to-peer transfers.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Telegram users who already use the wallet notice the change as a rename to Walt, while their existing accounts, balances, and addresses stay in place. People who want the new Gram Wallet get a separate option inside Telegram rather than a replacement for the older wallet setup.
In practice, the app now separates the custodial wallet from the new non-custodial one. That leaves the existing Wallet bot’s balances and addresses intact while adding Gram Wallet for internal payments and peer-to-peer transfers.
