Key Points
- TON team highlights recent disruptions and proposed solutions for enhanced stability.
- Hamster Kombat will hold the largest airdrop in history on TON.
Recently, the TON network experienced various disruptions which have been eventually resolved, but as “the largest airdrop in history” by Hamster Kombat approaches, the network’s stability importance increases.
TON’s core developers addressed the network congestion and downtime, blaming the significant demand for DOGS tokens.
Key Factors Triggering TON Disruptions
The surging demand for DOGS tokens triggered various issues for the network, and TON was not able to handle the stress test from last week.
A spokesperson for the TON Core development recently addressed the issues and proposed new solutions for increased network stability.
According to the TON’s rep, the issues were caused by 2 key factors:
- The recommended validator configuration included errors.
- Some TON validators were running on poor hardware.
The issues which included a 7-hour block production disruption occurred due to abnormal loads on TON, as validators were unable to clean the database of old transactions.
However, according to Tonscan data, the TON blockchain seems to be working properly at the moment, with block production undisrupted.
TON’s 3 Solutions for Network Stability
Here are the proposed solutions for enhanced stability on TON, according to the same spokesperson:
- Validators/node operators securing the network and transactions enhance a system that runs at higher levels.
- The network’s decentralized penalty system is being improved to penalize underperforming validators.
- TON developers improve the trench to make TGEs functional and affordable for creators.
Onboarding millions of new users to TON will continue while strengthening the network’s stability.
TON Mintless Jetton Technology
According to the TON’s team, they are continuously updating the network as they learn more from the unprecedented numbers of users that the TGEs are reaching.
They reportedly developed a new TON Mintless Jetton technology that will help ease network pressure during future TGEs.
The technology will allow projects to distribute coins to hundreds of millions of users at a cost under a dollar in network fees.
TON Reached a New ATH of 1.1M Daily Active Users
On August 31, the team behind TON shared a post via their X account, highlighting that TON just reached a new ATH with 1.1 million daily active users.
Last week, daily active users surpassed 1 million in three separate days, according to official data.
Overall, all of TON’s latest issues and disruptions can be solved, representing opportunities for growth and improvement.
Upcoming HMSTR TGE and Airdrop on TON
As TON had problems handling last week’s stress from the DOGS tokens, the upcoming Hamster Kombat airdrop on TON could pose issues as well.
Hamster Kombat has a large player base of over 300 million, and TON will be confronted with another test.
However, all of TON’s efforts to enhance network stability will turn out useful for allowing the Hamster Kombat Telegram-based game to have a successful TGE and airdrop this month.
