TON has brief downtime before being restored
Summary
The Open Network (TON) experienced a brief outage on June 1, halting block production for approximately 40 minutes due to an error in processing the masterchain dispatch queue. The development team confirmed that no funds were affected and transactions during the downtime were secure. In August 2024, TON faced multiple outages caused by high demand for the DOGS memecoin, leading to network congestion. The first outage on August 27 lasted several hours, with validators restoring functionality after resetting nodes. A second outage occurred on August 28, lasting about six hours. Despite these disruptions, TON attracted significant retail interest and institutional investment, raising $400 million from venture capital firms in March 2025.
