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

2022-04-29 10:01:27 We welcome independent developers who are working on the implementation of the TON ADNL transport protocol in different programming languages, in addition to the original C++ implementation:

TypeScript - adnl-js

Rust - adnl-rs

Golang - tonutils-go

Kotlin - ton-kotlin/ton-adnl

We recommend to keep eye on them and join the development if you are interested.

The ADNL protocol and the built-in support for Merkle Proofs in TON - these technological solutions bring us closer to a full-fledged decentralized Internet. We will talk about this in more detail in the future articles. 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.
