Statement from the TON Community

Following the recent news related to the Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov, we want to assure everyone that the TON community remains strong and fully operational.

As a community committed to freedom of speech and decentralization, we stand firmly by Pavel during this challenging time. Pavel has been a dedicated advocate for these values, and we believe his efforts to promote an open and decentralized internet will continue to inspire millions.

The TON community remains focused on our mission, and we will continue our work to uphold these principles globally. We encourage everyone to stay calm, united, and to keep building as we navigate this situation together. Thank you for your continued support.

TON Community

Today, We stand with Pavel Durov — Creator of Telegram.

In support of the #DigitalResistance, we are updating Toncoin’s logo and profile pictures across TON Community channels to the global symbol of Digital Resistance—the Resistance Dog. Pavel Durov started this movement during his fight to maintain the privacy of Telegram users and protect freedom of speech.

Congrats to @dogs_community who have started their onchain claim process. We hear they are currently processing up to 150K requests a minute, and we expect this number to increase.

Today is not only an important day for the digital resistance to show its power. It's also a day where TON will be stress-tested by up to 10 million users making transactions somewhat simultaneously.

Expect slight delays in transaction processing times as the network expands to handle the load.

Join the #DigitalResistance and Fight for Your Freedoms

Our most fundamental rights — freedom of speech and digital privacy — are under attack like never before. Governments and political correctness worldwide are tightening their grip, threatening to silence voices and monitor our every move online. The arrest of Pavel Durov in France isn’t the first time Durov has had to fight for our rights. Durov didn’t back down last time. Instead, he launched the #DigitalResistance — a movement to fight censorship and defend digital privacy.

The symbol of this movement? A dog in a hood. The Resistance Dog. In 2011, Pavel Durov was ordered to eradicate the posts of liberal thinkers and dissidents. In response, Pavel posted a picture of his dog, refusing to silence anyone on his platform. Since then, this dog has become the mascot of free speech. It has become an emblem of hope, incredible strength, and courage.

This isn’t just about one man; it’s about defending the rights of every individual. The #DigitalResistance is a movement for all of us who believe that privacy is a right, not a privilege, and that free speech is the foundation of a free society. By uniting under this banner, we are sending a clear message: we will not be silenced or surrender our digital freedoms.

Learn more about the movement and why it matters.

TON Blockchain is currently experiencing a disruption in block production.
The issue is occurring due to the abnormal load currently on TON. Several validators are unable to clean the database of old transactions, which has led to losing the consensus.

TON Core has issued a call to validators to restart at 4am UTC today. If enough validators will restart, consensus will be reestablished.

Stay tuned for more updates here. Rest assured your transactions will be made, no cryptocurrency assets will be lost due to the issue.
