TON Status

Now TON master branch can be compiled on Apple M1 processors without any additional steps.

The TON testnet has been completely restarted. Testnet config, testnet.toncenter.com, explorers and wallets have been updated.

Please update the config in your testnet services if you are using it as a local file.

The long history of blocks and the large size of the blockchain state with a small number of nodes is the cause of lags. Since the testnet does not have as many nodes as the mainnet, we will restart it every 3-6 months so that the testnet always remains fast.

The testnet will be restarted from scratch tomorrow on more powerful hardware to increase its stability.

Mainnet validators please update your software to new version:

— in mytonctrl run update then upgrade https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

— if you don't use mytonctrl please manually rebuild code from master branch of https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

Update your validators one by one, don't update all at the same time.

We remind you that the recommended RAM size for the validator is 64 GB, the minimum is 32 GB.

If you are validating on hardware with less then 32 GB RAM - immediately stop sending new election requests (type command set stake 0 in mytonctrl), you should not participate in subsequent elections until you improve the hardware.

This is a mandatory requirement for network stability.

On April 8, toncenter.com will be limited at 10 requests per second by IP with API key and 1 request per second without API key.

If you need more, please run your own endpoint.

Users of the TON extension for Google Chrome, please write down your wallet recovery phrases if you have not already done so.

Click menu in the top right corner → Backup Wallet → Write down your 24 recovery words in correct order and store them in secret place.

Google Chrome has released a new extension format V3. With it extensions will become more secure and private.

The TON extension will be updated to the V3 format in the coming days.

You may need wallet recovery phrases, make sure you have them written down.

Validator tool mytonctrl was transferred from repository https://github.com/igroman787/mytonctrl to repository https://github.com/ton-blockchain/mytonctrl.

GitHub redirects from the old path to the new one.

Developers using toncenter.com and tonweb must obtain an API key (as described on toncenter.com for mainnet and on testnet.toncenter.com for testnet).

Starting tomorrow, the use of toncenter without API key will be rate limited.

Developers, the Content-Type: application/json HTTP request header becomes mandatory when working with the toncenter.com.

This has already gone into effect on testnet and will soon go into effect on mainnet.

If you are a developer and use tonweb, please update to version 0.0.26+.

Previous versions of the tonweb will soon become incompatible with the public endpoints.

Web wallet is now available at the new wallet.ton.org domain!

If you have any problems, please contact support @toncoin_help.

Web wallet tonwallet.me will be moved to a new domain in the near future.

Please make sure that you have recorded recovery phrases of your wallet.

Click menu in the upper right corner → Backup Wallet → Write down your 24 recovery words in correct order and store them in secret place.
