Spam transactions on TONUnlike many other blockchains, TON is capable of performing thousands of transactions per second
with meager fees. Despite this considerable advantage,
it leads to a severe problem within the blockchain – spam attacks.
More likely, you've already seen these incoming transactions to your wallet saying: "Congratulations! Your wallet can become a validator. Send 50 or more TONs to…".
Obviously, it's a scam, and under any circumstance, don't transfer your funds to such crypto scammers. Unfortunately, TON is an open network, and
we cannot "turn off" the spam messages, so the only way not to get into trouble is to ignore them.
Luckily, some wallet apps, e.g., Tonhub, enrolled
a new feature protecting crypto beginners against spam attacks. The app will hide all the comments in the transaction feed if the number of sent cryptocurrencies is under 0.1 TON.
Be cautious and do not land on the hands of scammers!
