The Story of @chatgpt
OpenAI launched ChatGPT on November 30, 2022. Ten days later, the @chatgpt auction opened with a bid of 104 GRAM (formerly TON); four wallets placed 11 more bids, and it closed at 1,200 GRAM on December 16, 2022.
In March 2025 it changed hands for 80,000 GRAM in a single-bid sale, about 67 times the 2022 price. It has since moved to a different wallet and is in use as a public Telegram channel.
