In early July, Telegram announced that it would stop supporting the Telegram Open Network’s testnet, in what appeared to be another (and possibly the last) sign of Telegram’s permanent exit from its blockchain project.

Telegram’s choice to drop TON amid a protracted legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) apparently came close to convincing the courts that TON’s $1.7 billion private offering was an unregistered sale of securities. So, does the latest development mean TON is dead? Developers of independent TON-based projects don’t think so.
