What relation this project has to original TON (telegram) blockcghain which were abandoned? Are there some developers from the original project? And how to get free coins here?
The Free TON platform is an open source project that is only based on the TON code, and has nothing to do with investing in Telegram.
They are not related to the activities of Telegram Group Inc., despite the fact that the platform is based on a protocol developed by Nikolai Durov. Thus, the Free TON community distances itself from both Telegram and the story with the injunction of the US authorities on the Telegram Open Network.
So far, tokens can only be obtained through contests.
