2022-05-13 17:22:46 We remind you that the recommended RAM size for the validator is 64 GB, the minimum is 32 GB.

If you are validating on hardware with less then 32 GB RAM - immediately stop sending new election requests (type command set stake 0 in mytonctrl), you should not participate in subsequent elections until you improve the hardware.

This is a mandatory requirement for network stability. Open / Comment

2022-04-17 21:12:26 Technical comparison of TON with some other networks

As of 2022, TON Blockchain remains one of the few truly scalable blockchain projects. As such, it still is the most advanced blockchain project, capable of performing millions and, if becomes necessary in the future, tens of millions of true Turing-complete smart contract transactions per second, requiring only minor internal changes. TON still remaining at the cutting edge of general-purpose blockchain technology.

2022-04-07 16:52:01 Over the last few months, we’ve received suggestions from prospective partners and TON miners to create a larger reserve of Toncoin to secure resources for chasing new and exciting top-tier partnerships and integrations.

We understand that further development of the TON ecosystem will require significant funding, and it’s great to see that large holders are ready to back it up.

Considering the above, we are announcing a formation of a new Toncoin reserve that will be focused on supporting new product integrations, community growth campaigns, and partnerships with the world’s best companies in the blockchain sphere and beyond.

Due to the increasing demand for security and to represent the specialized nature of that new reserve, we’ve created an address with a multi-sig wallet smart contract:

It’s empty now, but we expect that community members who have offered their assistance will participate in forming that reserve and help the TON ecosystem grow and prosper.

We invite all TON enthusiasts and large holders to make donations to the new reserve and support the further growth of the ecosystem. Open / Comment
