TON Foundation: Intern was not approved to launch Meme Coin at pump.fun and has been fired

The TON Foundation recently disclosed that community members reported that a TON Foundation intern launched and promoted a personal meme coin on the pump.fun platform (using a personal account named X, displaying the TON badge) and outlined future plans for the project. However, the content was subsequently deleted, the livestream was terminated, and the project was subsequently abandoned. The TON Foundation stated that this activity was not approved or endorsed by the Foundation. Because the intern was responsible for operating the official X account, the actions caused community confusion and undermined trust. The Foundation has decided to terminate the intern's cooperation immediately and reiterates its commitment to internal and external transparency and accountability.
