BLYAT - The First TON Memecoin!

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. — TON Foundation

📢 Open Letter to $TON Leadership Dear @ton_blockchain Leadership, @crownmax @ManuelStotz @s0meone_u_know We write this letter as passionate members of the TON community — builders, traders, and meme creators — united by both our gratitude and our urgency. First, we want to thank you. Since the arrival of the new CEO @crownmax , TON has taken big steps forward: NFT 2.0 and the sticker marketplace have given TON new cultural weight. For the first time, we’ve seen hints that memes matter within the TON vision. That is something worth celebrating. But we also need to be candid: the community feels unheard. •Where is the respect for new money, new developers, and new meme creators? •Why are “season-bringer” memes — the sparks of adoption — not getting real attention? •Why does it feel like new narratives 😉 are left in the shadows instead of being amplified? On Solana, degens are trained to be ruthless and forward-thinking. On TON, the culture feels comfortable but muted. Comfort is not enough. Without memes, there is no culture — and without culture, there is no mass adoption. Every chain has a flagship narrative. For TON, it is clear: memes and stickers are our cultural edge. Ignoring this fact risks leaving TON behind, while others capture the energy of retail users and the creativity of communities (and trust us, they are very creative). We urge you to go further: •Acknowledge memes as a pillar of the TON ecosystem. •Build direct bridges with meme communities and projects. •Launch initiatives (e.g., a Meme Fund, Meme Contests, Meme Amplification campaigns) to ensure TON is not only the chain of performance, but also of culture and humor. •And importantly: an NFT expert ≠ a meme expert. If the same people are tasked with both, memes will suffer. It’s only practical to have a dedicated meme-focused management under Max’s vision. We are ready to work with you. Communities like ours (t.me/BrainstormAlph…) and many others have the creativity, the energy, and the conviction. What we need is recognition, coordination, and support from TON leadership. The world is watching. Let’s show them that TON is not just technically superior, but also the home of memes. Respectfully, Your Meme Community 👉 No KOL works harder for his bags than a normie degen with a good entry.
