The Tonano project was released today, introducing TON-20: a Bitcoin inscriptions equivalent. The Twitter crowd, previously involved with the BRC-20, rushed onto the opportunity. People started farming tokens with the $NANO ticker, sending transactions with the same comment to the same address for burning coins, creating excessive load, under which Tonapi crashed.😔
Requests will keep being accepted until all transactions have been processed. For instance, you can enter any amount on the site and mint the specified amount up to 4 times per transaction. At the moment, only ~ 0.11% of the total support of 2.1 billion has been minted.
The website tonscan.org stopped displaying tokens for a while, while tonapi.io was completely unavailable, prompting the administrators to post the following message:
We are under DDoS attack. Tonapi is currently unavailable.
UPD: This isn't a DDoS attack, but rather an abnormality in the blockchain. We are investigating the problem.
UPD: TON API is back.
This shows how much the TON API affects the ecosystem: if it fails, it drags down half of the ecosystem with it: Tonkeeper, STON, and DeDust.
In our opinion, this stress test will have a positive impact on the development and optimization of indexers, and we hope everyone will draw conclusions on this matter. Meanwhile, this micro-event brought additional publicity to our ecosystem.
