The appeal also referred to the report.Brownice University professor Maurice Herlihy, in which he stated that there were no critical elements needed to run and secure the TON blockchain. However, according to the participants of the TON Community Foundation, these “missing” components do not play a decisive role, and their presence is not necessary to launch the platform.
