the Commissioner of the SEC has criticized the regulator's decision put an end to ICO Telegram
the decision of the Commission on securities and exchange Commission (SEC), which effectively put an end to ICO Telegram of Pavel Durov, was incorrect, according to the SEC Commissioner Hester pierce. The text of her speech on the Blockchain Week in Singapore (via videoconference) SEC published on its website.
"As you will hear today, I don't always manage to convince colleagues to join my opinion. In other words, sometimes I remain in the minority," said Pearce, speaking at the Blockchain Week.
"settlement Agreement with the Telegram was a sad culmination of the investigation, which I did not support from the start," said Commissioner of the SEC.
Among the arguments of the pier - the fact that Telegram is not an American company and investors from the US not dominant among buyers tokens.

Testnet 2 is alive!
At the end of December, testnet2 stopped working.
Soon a new config appeared on the site, and the next day a new commit was published in the TON repository. In fact, the network was hard forked and is now available again.
Our wallet is already available for beta testers, and a stable version will appear on Google Play soon. The wallet now supports 3 networks:
- FreeTon.
- Testnet 2.
- TONCommunity.
Now it is very important to export the secret words. To do this, open old versions of our or other wallets you have installed, and export - save your secret words. This is very important and will come in handy in the future.
In the meantime, you can use the web version of the wallet, which is already configured for the new testnet2 config. Testing continues!

Telegram started returning funds to TON investors who decided to don't take money back immediately
Telegram started paying out funds to TON blockchain platform investors who didn't take money back after the platform failed, but waited a year to take 110% of their investment, according to two investors from The Bell article [ru]. A part of the investors already received their money, while other received letters stating the payouts already started.
To return funds to the investors who decided to wait, Telegram raised over $1B in March by selling bonds to select investors.

Da Vinci Capital announced a lawsuit against Telegram in London
«Our foundation received this offer about 24 hours before the deadline, and many of our investors simply didn't get a physical opportunity to analyze the documents and, accordingly, to receive an adequate return on the investments that were made», - said Oleg Horniko.
The investors in the Da Vinci Capital Foundation claimed damages of several tens of millions of dollars for a failed project. Then the RBC source close to Telegram reported that investors were asking for $20 million, and according to Skadden lawyers in London representing Telegram interests, such claims had little chance of success, «since the contract clearly covered both costs and risks».

Domain TON.ORG and the TON project repository was transferred to the open source developers community
The Telegram team agreed to transfer the domain ton.org and the repository to open-source to the developer community in response to their open letter:
«We are glad to see the high level of continued interest from the community to support and develop the TON technology.
Since Telegram itself no longer has any involvement in the project and we no longer use related resources, we are therefore ready to consider their transfer to a representative of the community to be utilized going forward.», — TON team wrote in GitHub.
At the address ton.org there is already new information from The Open Network team and an announcement.
Previously, the community that has now taken over the management of the domain and repository was called Newton, now it is called The Open Network. Developers from different countries have joined together to continue working on the technology.
In May, the testnet2 test network became the main one.

Pavel Durov wishes best to the maintainers of the Toncoin project
The founder of Telegram and the TON project, Pavel Durov, explained what happened to TON after the Telegram team abandoned the project, cut any relations and disowned it.
In the post, Pavel tells how he hoped other developers will keep developing the project and how Telegram Contest champions took the project to keep working on it, by rebranding it as Toncoin. He insisted again that Telegram is not related to Toncoin by any means, but he still hopes it will succeed.

New services from TON COIN and possible integration into Telegram
The team that develops the Toncoin cryptocurrency promises to introduce several new services by the end of 2022 - for storing files, bypassing locks, transferring funds, etc. These services were supposed to become part of Durov's TON blockchain project.
A source close to the Telegram team confirmed to Telegram Info that the messenger team does not rule out the possibility of integrating the aforementioned services into Telegram if they are launched.
Earlier, Durov raised the cost of Toncoin by almost 50% by supporting the developers of the altcoin. In January 2022, its price jumped again thanks to Morgenstern. The artist invested 10 million rubles in cryptocurrency.
According to the plans, the TON Payments payment system will be launched first, after that - a service for bypassing TON Proxy locks, TON Storage, an analogue of the anonymous Tor network - TON Sites and other products, Oleg Andreev, developer of the Tonkeeper crypto wallet, told Forbes.
In the near future, Andrey Rogozov, Vice President for Social Platforms of VK, should join the TON Foundation.

The TON investor lost the lawsuit against Telegram - he demanded to return $280 thousand, and now he must pay $700 thousand
In court, the plaintiff insisted that he had “hurriedly” decided to invest in TON and did not receive documents listing the risks from Telegram. The arbitration decided that Chuprin either got acquainted with these documents, because they were freely available, or "understood all the risks, and it did not bother him." Also, in the signed agreement on the purchase of the Gram cryptocurrency, it is indicated that he has read the information about the risks.
The court concluded that Zotobi "obviously would have been better off accepting Telegram's alternative offer" for a loan. But Zotobi "wasn't sure about the safety of the money."
The court rejected all Zotobi's claims and demanded to cover Telegram's legal costs for $700,000 and court costs for £55.9 thousand.

Pavel Durov intends to deeply integrate the TON cryptocurrency into Telegram
The founder of the messenger was admired by the success of the TON Foundation and shared his opinion that having a Telegram user base, the cryptocurrency could achieve more.
Durov described scenarios such as the transfer of @username's using smart contracts in cryptocurrency, as well as the creation of stickers and emojis, which would form a market based on TON.
In 2020, the US Securities Commission banned the issuance of the TON cryptocurrency. After that, Telegram officially disowned the platform, and stopped participating in its development.
Since then, the TON Foundation has been organized, which officially has no ties to Telegram, although it is apparently in close alliance with the messenger team. The cryptocurrency from this organization is positioned as independent of Telegram and created by the community of enthusiasts in order to circumvent the prohibitions of the American regulator. Telegram intends to integrate TON into its application in such a way that it looks like the TON team independently brings its services to the messenger in a partner way.
Judging by the reaction of users to the post, most do not welcome the introduction of elements of the "Web3" philosophy into Telegram. Earlier it was already proposed to integrate NFT into the messenger, to which the audience of the messenger also reacted negatively.
TON was an original attempt to monetize Telegram. Given that the messenger now has an advertising platform and a paid subscription, it's hard to say how ready Pavel Durov is to go against the interests of users for the sake of another source of income.
