The blockchain congestion was so severe that popular crypto wallets TON Wallet and Tonkeeper temporarily halted operations.<\/p>\n<p>By December 7, more than 2.5 million unconfirmed transactions were stuck in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>The outage followed the launch of the inscriptions service <a href=\\\"https:\/\/tonano.io\/\\\">Tonano<\/a>, which uses the TON-20 standard. After a few days of subpar performance, the service also suspended operations.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\\\"https:\/\/telegra.ph\/7-Dec-2023-12-07\\\">anonymous report<\/a> it said that the cause of the overload was \\&#8221;validator nodes operating on underpowered hardware\\&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\">\n<p>\\&#8221;These validators rented equipment for low-load usage without accounting for growth. Since in previous months the network operated at low intensity, it was not a problem. As the load increased 50-100 times within 30 minutes, these validators began to slow the entire blockchain,\\&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On October 31, TON <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/ton-blockchain-sets-world-record-for-transactions-per-second\">set a world record<\/a>, achieving 104,715 transactions per second. According to developers, the network is potentially capable of processing millions of operations with a sufficient number of validators.<\/p>\n<p>In November, the operator <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-web3\">Web3<\/a>-games Animoca Brands <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/animoca-brands-becomes-ton-networks-largest-validator\">announced<\/a> strategic investments in the blockchain, becoming the largest validator in the network.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the venture arm of KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange and TON Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/kucoin-ventures-to-back-the-ton-ecosystem\">agreed<\/a> to collaborate.
