We keep hearing public claims that NFT 2.0 on TON is completely open and that any marketplace can integrate with and build on it. However, in reality, full access still requires Ton Foundation approval.

Over the past few months, our team has been working on a complete transition of our sticker ecosystem to blockchain, bringing together more than 100,000 holders across different collections.

We have created a strong primary market, attracted well-known IPs, and we're not going to stop there! We're planning to enter new markets, attract renowned IPs, implement utility for stickers, and much more.

We have released a mint with full technical support for the NFT 2.0 standard - everything is ready and compliant. But we've encountered one issue...
We were directly told that entering the “Stickers” section on Getgems requires permission from the TON Foundation. That is not what “open” means.

Therefore, we've reached out directly to a representative of the TON Foundation. Below is the response we've received (see screenshots).
We respect the work of the TON Foundation - but let’s be honest: you can’t call it “The Open Network” when builders need permission slips to enter.

If NFT 2.0 is “open,” why does it feel like a private club? Why do fully compliant projects suddenly need approval to appear in the “Stickers” section - the very space that should represent openness and innovation?
And, funny enough, while some builders are asked to wait for a green light, others seem to find the doors wide open. Must be that “decentralization magic” everyone’s talking about. ✨

We’re not here to fight, we’re here to build. But openness without access isn’t openness - it’s PR.
