The Open Network (TON)<\/a>, the blockchain network linked to Telegram, has resumed operations following a significant outage that lasted nearly six hours due to a spike in network traffic.<\/p>\n

In an Aug. 28 post on X, TON<\/a> confirmed it was back online and producing blocks as usual.<\/p>\n

What caused the outage?<\/h2>\n

Some community members speculated that the outage might be linked to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov<\/a>‘s recent arrest<\/a> in France.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 21, Durov was arrested in Paris and was charged<\/a> with facilitating illegal transactions, refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, and allowing various unlawful activities to occur on the social messaging application.<\/p>\n

However, the head of TON Ventures, Ian Wittkopp, clarified<\/a> that the outage was caused by the high volume of transactions from airdropping over $550 million in value to the community through the DOGS memecoin token issuance. He added that this might have been TON's highest day of active users.<\/p>\n

DOGS is a memecoin associated with the Telegram community. The project, launched on Aug. 26, attracted significant attention due to its unique airdrop approach. On Aug. 27, blockchain explorer Tonscan reported<\/a> that the memecoin had generated substantial traffic, which caused some “central services” to be temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n

TON corroborated<\/a> this and explained that the network had seen abnormal load activity, which overwhelmed several validators and prevented them from clearing old transactions. This resulted in a loss of consensus.<\/p>\n

On Telegram, TON stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Due to high recent activity (>20m transactions in recent 2 days), garbage collection overloaded many of validators for enough time for them to lost consensus with each other.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In blockchain networks, validators verify transactions within blocks. When block production stops, transactions go unconfirmed, causing service disruptions.<\/p>\n

TON stages recovery<\/h2>\n

Despite the significant outage, the TON's network token price defied the broader market trend, losing a mild 1.3% over the past 24 hours while other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin<\/a> and Ethereum<\/a> dropped by an average of 6% during the same period.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some crypto community members saw the outage as a positive sign for TON, likening it to previous outages<\/a> on other significant blockchains like Solana<\/a> and Avalanche<\/a>. They argued that such disruptions on layer-1 networks often signal high adoption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
