Independent group of developers under a TON considering the option of running the network without the participation of the Telegram.

The court banned the Telegram to run a TON and spread Grama among buyers 1 and 2 rounds, but may not limit in this community or third parties. In this situation, the initiative group of developers, formed in mid-February, TON Community Foundation, began to consider self-start TON. Technically, any obstacles to this no — TON code is freely available, an alternative test of the network already deployed, such as company TON Labs, and only the start condition "the Mainnet" is a recognition by the community as it is technically the role of the initiator of the network is to create so-called genesis block and release (emission) of gram and the distribution of them on the first locations.

One of the initiators of the TCF, Fedor Skuratov, a former employee of TON Labs, said in an interview with Coindesk that the community is now considering different options and running the TON forces TCF is one of the possible options in terms of the injunction imposed on the Telegram. SEC, according to Skuratov, may not limit the third parties at launch TON. The key point, he said, is reaching agreements with investors THANK, as without them no matter how many networks on the basis of TON does not run, none of them will receive recognition as "basic".

Also, according to the representative of TCF, now the community is communicating with known investors TON and encourages other to also get in touch and join the discussion of development of the project.
