The TON’s launch without Durov. What does it mean?

At the end of April, Telegram sent an offer to its investors to take interest from the invested funds at this time or in a year to get 50% more from the investment with the opportunity to give up money in favor of the project tokens. But now American investors are offered to withdraw 72% of their money, and investors from other jurisdictions are offered to issue a loan and receive 110% of the invested funds in a year.

The company refused to distribute tokens.

The reason for the change of plans is the well-known regulatory risks.

However, on May 7, the Free TON Community launched the Free TON platform independently without Telegram.

In the longrid from DeCenter, Daria Nosova, Partner and Head of the FinTech practice, shares her opinion with readers on Durov's proposal for options for returning invested funds in money, as well as whether the autonomous launch of Free TON has affected Telegram.
