Gram vs Internet Computer
Gram leads on 3 of 4 shared benchmarks, Internet Computer on 1. Gram wins on Fastest L1 blockchain finality, live wall-clock measurement per chain (0.40 s vs 0.93 s), Highest staking yield, live net APR by proof-of-stake chain (11.9% vs 10.0%), Cheapest blockchain to deploy a token, live USD cost per L1 chain ($0.00549 vs $0.6725). Internet Computer wins on Cheapest blockchain transaction fee, live across L1 and L2 chains ($0.000248 vs $0.00549). Data as of 2026-11-14 UTC.
Gram
Gram (formerly Toncoin, ticker renamed to GRAM in June 2026). BFT Proof-of-Stake L1 with a sharded masterchain and workchain architecture. Deterministic finality within a few seconds. Block time near 5 seconds.
Internet Computer
The Internet Computer: subnets of nodes run canister smart contracts and sign state with chain-key cryptography; ICP pays ledger fees and is converted into cycles for compute.

Net yield
Gramn/aInternet Computern/a
Nominal yield in the staked token, not real yield: a 19% APR on a token that inflates 12% a year is worth less than it looks, and price moves dominate both. MEV is included on Solana only and excluded on Ethereum. ICP is one neuron profile (2 year dissolve delay), Algorand one opt-in solo node, Ethereum one network average. Stellar and Somnia are not ranked, see the methodology.

How is the Gram vs Internet Computer comparison measured?
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
How this pair was selected
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
