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.

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 two key factors: errors in the recommended validator configuration and some TON validators running on poor hardware. The issues, including a 7-hour block production disruption, occurred due to abnormal loads on TON, as validators were unable to clean the database of old transactions.

TON’s 3 Solutions for Network Stability

Here are the proposed solutions for enhanced stability on TON, according to the same spokesperson: 1. Validators/node operators securing the network and transactions enhance a system that runs at higher levels. 2. The network’s decentralized penalty system is being improved to penalize underperforming validators. 3. 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.

Preparation for Hamster Kombat Airdrop

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 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. On August 31, the team behind TON shared a post via their X account, highlighting that TON 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. However, the upcoming Hamster Kombat airdrop could pose new challenges for the network. 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.

The recent challenges faced by the TON network underscore the importance of continuous improvement and stability. The upcoming Hamster Kombat airdrop will be a significant test for the network, but the measures taken should help ensure the event’s success and the network’s further growth.
