​The Open Network Year in Review: 2023

As we step into 2024, let's take a moment to look back at the transformative year that was 2023 for TON.

Our Year in Review summarizes the network's progress, highlighting the events and milestones that have taken the ecosystem to new heights.

Key moments of 2023:

▪️World Blockchain Speed Record: TON shattered records in the first third-party verified live speed test by processing 104,715 transactions per second, surpassing all competitor blockchains and conventional payment systems like Visa.

▪️Integration with Telegram: TON’s groundbreaking collaboration with Telegram led to the integration of the self-custody TON Space wallet into the platform. This redefined blockchain accessibility and for the first time put crypto into the pockets of millions.

▪️The Gateway in Dubai: TON's inaugural in-person conference, attended by over 600 enthusiasts, featured major ecosystem announcements. It showcased the community's commitment to developing a Web3 SuperApp on Telegram, introduced The Open League incentives program, and unveiled plans for a series of significant technical developments, including a new L2 for TON Payments, the TON Teleport decentralized multi-chain bridge, and TON Browser.

We'd like to thank the entire TON Community for your support and wish you all a Happy New Year. Together, we have firmly established ourselves on the Web3 map.

As we embark on 2024, some big collaborations and exciting projects are in the works. These include the full rollout of @Wallet to all Telegram users, the official launch of The Open League, the introduction of native stablecoins on TON, and new levels of interoperability between TON and the broader Web3 world with TON Teleport.

Playmuse has launched a Telegram Mini App for creative communities

Playmuse, a TON-based Web3 service tailored for creative professionals, has unveiled its Telegram Mini App (TMA). This launch marks a significant development for individuals engaged in diverse creative pursuits such as music production, filmmaking, blogging, managing Telegram channels, and streaming.

At the core of Playmuse's offering is the ability for users to engage with NFTs in a unique manner. Creators can not only release, buy, and sell NFTs as representations of various content forms but also utilize these NFTs as keys to unlock exclusive access to closed groups or events within communities.

The launch of Playmuse's TMA enhances the ease of accessing exclusive content. Here's how it works: A content creator releases a collection on the Playmuse marketplace. When a user purchases an NFT from this collection, they can then open the TMA for verification of the NFT. Once verified, they gain access to private channels or chats linked to that NFT.

Moreover, Playmuse allows for collections to be interconnected with various communities, offering a seamless experience for users. It also supports importing collections from other marketplaces, broadening the scope for creative expression and collaboration. Esteemed artists like Antoha MC, Sorry Jesus, Notahash, who famously composed a track inspired by Pavel Durov's wallet, are among the many who have embraced this media service.

To explore this platform and potentially earn rewards for your content, you can launch a TMA here (the launch is scheduled at 27.12.2023, 14:00 UTC) Join Playmuse’s official Telegram channel to learn more.

​The dawn of cNFTs on TON

The Compressed NFT (cNFT) format has recently gained popularity, enabling the creation of extensive collections ranging from hundreds of thousands to a million items — all achievable at a fraction of the minting cost.

The first cNFT use cases on TON took place recently, marking the beginning of a new era. The team behind the @Getgems NFT marketplace:

▪️ Released over 75,000 cNFTs as part of the Egg Fight Club game, where egg-cNFTs serve as gaming assets in the fight for the grand prize. In this initial attempt, the minting price of cNFTs was approximately 40 times cheaper than typical NFT mints.

▪️ Unveiled the first Pearls by Gems drop in collaboration with the creators of Lost Dogs: "Lost Dogs: Consequences" collection, featuring postcards of varying rarity and the backstory of the long-lost world.

Minting 16,191 cNFTs in the Pearls drop cost just 1.5 Toncoin. Typically, a collection of this scale would cost around 800 Toncoin. Thanks to the cNFT standard, the cost has been reduced by more than 533 times.

Join the Pearls Drop channel and pre-authorize your wallet with @pearls_drop_bot for upcoming cNFT drops. To learn more about cNFTs, read this post.

TON Network Online: A Heartfelt Thanks to TON Community
As of 7:20 AM UTC today, The Open Network (TON) has effectively resolved the recent network congestion issues, thanks to upgrades implemented by TON validators. This advancement has enabled the network to process transactions swiftly and seamlessly, ensuring the safety and security of all user assets during the slowdown.

The network performed effectively during decongestion processing up to 65,000 transactions per minute at its peak. However, there have been some significant lessons learned here, and still remain some challenges to address with introducing slashing for underperforming validators, and continuing to upgrade the validator network with the best hardware and routes of communication. In part the solution is already integrated into our network's architecture, but there will be further upgrades and we are already significantly better positioned to handle similar scenarios in the future.

Throughout this event, a significant milestone for the blockchain was realized - 200 million transactions have successfully been processed.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our community for your patience and support during this time. We extend special thanks to all the validators as well as Tonano, Fragment, @Wallet, Tonkeeper, TON API, dTON, re:doubt and Orbs teams for their exceptional efforts and collaboration, which were instrumental in stabilizing the network, and communicating the status to TON Community.

As we move forward and services resume, we anticipate a smooth transition, although minor delays might occur as teams resume full services. We've set up a direct contact form for those who need personalized assistance. Your trust and cooperation have been invaluable, and we remain dedicated to continually enhancing the TON experience. Thank you for being with us on this journey.

Call for Network Validators to get in contact!
The TON blockchain is experiencing reduced performance now due to a backlog of transactions in the queue to be validated. We’ve received a response from many validators on the network who have already upgraded using the patch provided this morning.

However, there are still some we have been unable to reach. We need to collect the machine specifications from all validators to progress the upgrade as quickly as possible. If you maintain a TON validator node, please get in touch with us urgently so we can resolve the network performance issues.

You can reach the team via this google form. If you know someone who maintains a validator node on TON, please also feel free to forward this message.

TON processed over 80 million inscriptions transactions in 15 days

TON Community is delighted to see the work to supercharge the network led to the successful launch of Inscriptions on TON. While other networks attempt to ban such demanding levels of transactions, TON evolved to carry the load with open arms. There were issues, but they led to great learnings that will shape how TON evolves to even greater levels of scale.

Since TON20 inscriptions launched - 98,945 unique users have made over 80 million transactions. Transactions per second have consistently held above 300 in over a week of minting activity, at one point reaching a peak of 649, a new record for TON Mainnet. TON’s dynamic sharding was in full swing, splitting into a peak of 16 shardchains. At the same time, transaction costs remained fixed and low at an average of ~$0.004 per transaction. In a community-led effort, crucial infrastructure was upgraded, including liteservers, APIs, and message delivery services. Special thanks to TON Diamonds, who set up additional liteservers, and GetBlock, who provided free RPC nodes for key projects.

The road to putting crypto in every pocket and making TON the most scalable blockchain on the planet was never going to be easy, but stress tests will always strengthen our ecosystem.

Transactions Delay Update

Yesterday marked a pivotal moment for our decentralized community; coming together with unprecedented collaboration. We made the necessary steps back toward the high standard of operations the TON Community expects.

The focus was stopping the transaction queue from growing, which has been achieved and meant:
▪Working with the Tonano team to pause mints and stop transaction growth.
▪Working with Fragment team to pause auctions and protect user’s digital assets.
▪Contacting +70% of all independent validators to begin upgrading using the patch provided. Any remaining validators can get in touch via this form.
▪Removed some of the poor-performing validators, running on rate-limited bandwidth.

Today, our focus is on efficiently processing the backlog in the transaction queue.

To do that we have just released a second validator upgrade here, and with faster routes of communication to +70% of validators, a resolution is near.

Track TON back to full performance in real time!
In true TON community fashion, the most necessary components are being built by the community! Tonkeeper has created a dashboard to track the network decongestion in near real-time.

You’ll see two charts on the dashboard, pictured above.

▪Chart 1 shows the cumulative amount of delayed transactions. Until it drops to zero, the network can only process very few new transactions.
▪Chart 2 shows the rate of congestion/decongestion. Values below zero indicate increasing congestion, and values above zero indicate clearance of the transactions.

In the next 10-20 hours, we expect to see an increase in the rate of decongestion as more and faster validators will join the next validation round.

TON20 Inscription Use-case on TON
Starting on December 5th, The Open Network (TON) experienced an incredible spike in network activity, thanks to the BRC20 Bitcoin Ordinals type of inscription use-case, called TON20, launched by the Tonano team.

Producing over 2 million transactions increased our network usage by 61 times within just half an hour. TON Community is proud to witness a creative use case take-off in TON driven by independent participants in the ecosystem.

Moreover, this sudden growth has revealed many interesting insights for our blockchain. Dynamic sharding technology worked as expected. At its peak, TON split into eleven shardchains, stabilizing at five shardchains to handle the heavy load.

At the same time, this phenomenon also revealed where the community should work to swiftly onboard the exponential increase in network activity expected in the near future. Network validators must ensure that TON is supported by hardware capable of scaling to the performance demanded by high usage.

Network Performance Delays
This peak interest also came with a severe congestion of TON network, where validation was severely delayed even though the network validators are still producing blocks.

Popular wallets like @Wallet and Tonkeeper have paused the service temporarily.

TON core developers are aware of the issues affecting users and are working on TON blockchain. An initial technical report is available here. TON core team will be providing us with a further update within the next 24 hours.

We thank you and the community for your patience and unwavering support as we go through the growing pains together, preparing for the unprecedented growth season expected in the near future.
