‘TON Remains Fully Functional’: Official Announcement
Following Pavel Durov’s recent arrest by French authorities, the TON community has reemphasized its unwavering commitment to its core principles. Recent reports have suggested that the lack of moderation on Telegram allowed for criminal activities to occur, leading to Durov’s detention at Le Bourget airport in Paris. However, the TON community wants to emphasize that it remains fully operational despite this setback.
The community remains steadfast in its support for decentralization and freedom of speech, aligning closely with Durov’s vision. The TON community stands firmly behind his efforts to advance an open and decentralized internet. Rest assured, the arrest has not disrupted the network’s operations, as the blockchain project TON continues to function according to plan, ensuring uninterrupted work for its developers and users.
Naturally, concerns have arisen among Telegram and TON users in light of this development. However, the community has acted swiftly to reassure everyone that the network remains unaffected. TON’s association with Durov’s decentralized vision remains intact, and the community is resolved to move forward together, upholding the values that have guided the initiative from the beginning.
Unfortunately, the news of Durov’s arrest has triggered market volatility. TON, which had been experiencing relatively steady trading, suffered a significant decline in value following the announcement. The market’s immediate reaction to the uncertainties surrounding Durov’s situation resulted in a 20% drop in the cryptocurrency’s price, falling from $6.8 to approximately $5.36.
Nevertheless, the TON community remains resolute, undeterred by the price decline. The network continues to operate seamlessly, and its supporters are unified in their dedication to the principles that have propelled the initiative since its inception.
