TON Blockchain Experiences Second Outage Within 48 Hours
The TON blockchain, developed by Telegram, is experiencing its second outage within two days. According to the team, block production issues began at 19:19 UTC and were shared with users via Telegram and X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday. The team attributes the disruption to high demand related to DOGS token minting, with TON Core actively working on a resolution.
What Went Wrong
As previously mentioned, block production on TON has faced interruptions since 19:19 UTC, primarily due to the high load related to DOGS token minting. TON Core is addressing the issue, and updates will be provided as the situation progresses.
More importantly, Telegram has reassured users that their assets remain safe and issued an urgent call on X for mainnet validators to update and restart their nodes. According to Tonscan block explorer, the last recorded blocks were at 12:23 Eastern Time (16:23 UTC).
Not The First Time
At the time of reporting, the price of the TON token showed minimal change, decreasing by 0.99% over four hours and 4% over 24 hours. One user commented on the ordeal, claiming that as long as he can finally withdraw his dogs, he can wait.
The previous outage occurred during Asian trading hours on Wednesday and lasted about six hours, also having a minor impact on the price of TON, which had already declined earlier due to Pavel Durov being arrested in France. This earlier downtime was partially linked to the DOGS airdrop.
