Mainnet Validators
Please be prepared to vote to enable TVM Update on December 12 at 9:00 UTC.
More info »
Please check that your node software is updated to the latest version (it should be on
51baec4
commits, both are fine). If your node is outdated, upgrade immediately.
If 75%+ of the positive votes of the validators are collected in two rounds of 6 rounds, then TVM Update will be enabled.
Mainnet Validators
To improve processing of recent payload please upgrade your validators, in MyTonCtrl:
upgrade
If you are on
queue_clearance3
and/or on
027338c
commit - you are fine, please do not switch to master branch right now, chose time in coming days.
If you are owner of LiteServer, no immediate update is needed.
Mainnet Validators
Mandatory action required
If your validator nodes have less than 15 vCPUs we ask you to not participate in next elections for some times.
To do it, use
set stake 0
command in MyTONCtrl. If, instead of MyTONCtrl you use your own election scripts and has less than 15 vCPU, please stop them.
Mainnet validators
Please update your validator software to commit
9b6d699
of master branch.
To do it run in mytonctrl:
upgrade master
If you have several validator nodes, update them one by one (updated, waited for synchronization, and moved on to the next one).
Critical bug detected and fixed thanks to bug bounty
It was found that no special check against "all bytes same" public keys in OpenSSL crypto.
Thus, due to the recent zeroing of the configuration key, a vulnerability has opened up.
Just now we have used this issue to yet another time update config contract storage - bytes of public key are replaced with
82b17caadb303d53c3286c06a6e1affc517d1bc1d3ef2e4489d18b873f5d7cd1
-
sha256 hash of
Not a valid curve point
phrase. This means that the
vulnerability is closed and no one can use the configuration key.
We thank everyone who participated in the TON bug bounty! This is an example of a bug that gets a top reward.
TON coped with minting activity!
What a week! Not without difficulty, but we did it.
Just for yesterday, TON has processed more than 21 million transactions (which is ~10% of all transactions over the entire previous period). At the same time, we have maintained the cheap fixed cost of transactions, as before. In total, more than 90K TON were spent on network commissions over the past week.
We have learned lessons, some of the fixes have already been made, and work on the remaining ones is planned.
What is next?
This stress test revealed points of further growth and improvement throughout the entire ecosystem: Liteservers network, Resilient indexing APIs, message delivery infrastructure. Recent days results reassured our confidence that we will solve huge challenge of truly mass-adoption and will bring the crypto to every pocket!
The upcoming updates are as follows:
• Next TON validator software upgrade is planned to December 14.
• Voting for TVM upgrade is moved for December 19.
• Tech report on events December 5 - December 12 is planned to the end of this week.
• New requirements and benchmarks for validator and lite-server hardware are planned to be released on next week.
Thanks to the community
We would like to note the well-coordinated and efficient work of community, in particular @Wallet, Tonkeeper, TON API, dTON, re:doubt, Tonhub and Orbs. Services have already begun eliminating detected bottlenecks.
Stay in touch!

Guidelines for API clients
Public liteservers (from the global config) and free plans in TON API and Toncenter exist to get you started with TON quickly. It can be used for learning to program in TON, or for applications and scripts that do not require 100% uptime.
If you're a developer of a popular product you can use:
— More advanced plans in Toncenter or TON API, which provide more requests per second and better stability.
— Other APIs like dton, re:doubt, TON Access may also provide extended plans.
— Run your own node. In this case please pay attention to the hardware requirements.
BSC Bridge Mantainance
Toncoin transfers between the BSC and TON networks via bridge.ton.org have been suspended for unscheduled technical works. The work will take approximately one week. We apologize for any inconvenience.
All funds are safe and all unprocessed transfers will be processed after the technical work is completed.
Toncoin and token transfers between Ethereum and TON networks are operating as normal.
Recently a highload wallet of @wallet in mainnet was stuck because current gas limit (1M) is not enough to clean up old queries, thus locking funds inside. More technical details can be found in crypto/smartcont/highload-wallet-v2-code.fc.
While locked funds represent only a small part of the total user assets on platform, loss of access to it can undermine the trust and user experience in TON.
To restore access to funds we plan to propose to validators temporarily increase gas limit for account EQD_v9j1rlsuHHw2FIhcsCFFSD367ldfDdCKcsNmNpIRzUlu.
Next update planned to January 18 will contains (disabled by default) corresponding changes among other things and, once network will be upgraded, we will propose validators to vote for increased gas limits.
When developing node software, we strive for the best user experience. To this end, we collaborate with projects in the ecosystem, including exchanges and wallets. In particular, in situations where it is possible to correct problems without undermining monetary policy (without printing new money), we develop and invite validators to approve changes to the node like those mentioned above. In addition, contracts, guidelines, tools and documentation are being improved to prevent such situations from arising.
Scheduled network update on January 18
We are asking validators to schedule a time on January 18 at 9:00 UTC for validator software update.
