TON Foundation urgently clarifies: The UAE golden visa program has no government endorsement, and the related announcement has been withdrawn.
In response to the previous report that sparked widespread controversy regarding "staking TON for UAE golden visa," the TON Foundation issued a brief statement to clarify. The organization denied any government involvement in the project. The plan previously claimed that users could obtain a 10-year UAE golden visa by staking $100,000 worth of TON tokens for three years. According to the TON Foundation's official blog, this clarification aims to correct misinformation about its UAE golden visa program. The foundation emphasized that the project is an independent collaboration between TON and an unnamed licensed partner (focused on tokenization of assets and blockchain infrastructure). The TON Foundation clearly stated that the project has not received any formal government support and is currently only an "exploratory attempt." The organization admitted that the initial announcement was released too early and has removed the related promotional content.
