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.
