TON Community States That No One Can Prevent TON From Launching

Members of the TON community are still eager to launch the blockchain, despite the last injunction imposed by the U.S. court.

Fedor Skuratov, a representative for TCF, the organization developing the TON blockchain, said that the recent unfavourable decisions by the U.S. court were not something new for them:

“The community was ready for this (or another) scenario. We have several options, including the launch of TON by TCF [TON Community Foundation]. I will say more, no one (no one) can prevent the launch of TON by any other entity, person or community, cause TON is a decentralized open-source solution. Already, there are two different test networks, and within the community, there is at least one group planning to launch.”

“No one can prevent the launch of TON”

TCF thinks that there is a way to circumvent the SEC and the U.S. courts: introducing a fork to TON’s mainnet. This way, the blockchain would be legally disconnected from the original project. If this event takes place, original investors will have to settle for the assets issued on this forked network instead:

“The issue of what will be recognized as the core network (Mainnet) is a matter of community recognition exclusively. We are considering, among other things, the option in which we will negotiate with TON investors on the topic of converting their rights to grams in the Telegram’s originally mentioned TON into rights for other grams.”

At this point, it remains to be seen whether the proposed solution was approved by Telegram founder, Pavel Durov. However, if we remember that TON blockchain is an open-source project, his opinion may not be of much importance.
