2022-06-25 19:14:07 Up to $100,000 could be rewarded for finding a vulnerability in the TON blockchain’s code.

Developers at The Open Network take a responsible approach to questions about the network’s security and dedicate a significant amount of time hunting for and finding bugs and errors.

We’d like to remind our readers that the TON Bug Bounty program is always ongoing, whereby any programmer can be rewarded for uncovering a vulnerability.

The reward size depends on how critical the bug is and can reach $100,000.

2022-06-21 18:03:34 ​Website security service Cloudflare suffered outages in its worldwide networks.

Today, Cloudflare, a company that provides network services to millions of sites, experienced failures that adversely affected vast areas of the internet.

Many services and sites were rendered unusable, such as popular messenger Discord, news aggregator Feedly, food delivery service DoorDash, and many more. The issues have been fixed.

On multiple occasions, the TON Foundation has said that the current iteration of the internet has become too fragile due to centralized corporations dominating the space and that similar outages will occur, disrupting millions of users.

Achieving a high level of network security is only possible through decentralization.

In a new article, the TON Foundation explains how the TON blockchain can play a crucial role in the battle for decentralization and replacing the current cloud solutions by becoming a decentralized meta cloud: https://telegra.ph/TON--The-metacloud-06-15 Open / Comment
