Next technical objective: increasing shardchain performance

Under normal load, TON operates on a single shardchain. Under peak load, dynamic sharding is activated: the network splits into multiple shardchains, increasing throughput while maintaining static fees. In this mode, operation execution time may increase by several seconds.

With TON 2026.05 we start a new series of updates focused on performance improvement of a single shardchain

The objective is to activate dynamic sharding at a load level at which other blockchains cannot operate effectively.
