Clarification for TON Node Operators

The Rust implementation of the TON node has experimental status and is not intended for use on the main network, either as a validator or as a full node/liteserver.

At this time, alternative TON node implementations do not yet provide the required quality of operation or sufficient compatibility with current protocols. For validators, this means a risk of penalties for improper operation once the slashing system is re-enabled.

The TON network currently runs on the reference C++ implementation. Bringing alternative implementations into operation is not on the agenda — the priority is the continued rapid development of protocols and technologies in support of the MTONGA plan.

For the main network, operators should use the C++ version of the TON node.
