$TON 🌍 Golden Visa with TON? Think twice before jumping in

Recently, a proposal has gone viral promising access to the Golden Visa of the United Arab Emirates through staking $100,000 USD in $TON for three years. While it sounds attractive — residency for 10 years, estimated returns of 3-4%, and coverage for the family — it is important to clarify that this is not an official initiative from the Emirati government.

This model is offered by an external intermediary that uses the TON blockchain as a logistical tool, but without direct institutional backing. In fact, some experts point out that any other token could well have been used, raising questions about the real motivation behind the project.

Moreover, the additional payment of $35,000 for management reinforces the suspicion that this could be more of a financial product wrapped in web3 marketing than a legitimate governmental solution.

In an ecosystem where trust is everything, tying oneself to such a scheme without official guarantees is a significant risk. TON gains visibility, yes, but participants could find themselves tied to a plan with more smoke than substance.
