Check out what Split is bringing to the NFT space on TON!

We’ve been made aware of recent activity by a TON Foundation intern, following a number of questions and concerns raised by the community. 

To clarify: a personal meme token was launched on pump.fun and promoted across social media and live streams from a personal X account displaying a TON badge. Plans were suggested regarding the future of the token, but shortly after, the posts were deleted, the stream ended, and the project was abandoned. 

This was not a Foundation initiative, nor was it approved or endorsed by the Foundation in any way. However, given this person’s role managing the official TON account on X, combined with the token being promoted on an account displaying a TON badge, we understand how this created confusion and undermined trust.

We take this very seriously. This behavior does not align with our values and fails to meet the standards we expect from anyone representing TON Foundation, regardless of role. Effective immediately, this individual’s engagement with TON Foundation has been terminated for cause.

We’re grateful to the community members who raised concerns early and brought attention to the situation. TON’s growth depends on accountability and transparency, both internally and externally, and we remain committed to building a culture that embodies these values.
