TON blockchain slows to a halt as Ordinals activity surges

Based on messages from TON developers and users on Telegram, as the Ordinals-inspired protocol activity surges, the processing speed of the TON blockchain has slowed down. According to data from the dTON robot monitoring the status of the blockchain, as of early Friday morning, there were over 2.5 million transactions waiting to be processed, and the speed of the TON blockchain has dropped to less than one transaction per second.

It is reported that in the "public pressure test" in early November, the highest speed of TON was about 100,000 TPS. According to a technical report anonymously published on the Telegraph blog platform, the congestion was attributed to "validator nodes running on weaker hardware."
