TON Network Bounces Back After 40-Minute Outage—Crypto Traders Missed Exactly 3,000 ’To The Moon’ Tweets

Just another day in blockchain paradise: The Open Network (TON) went dark for 40 minutes today before engineers slapped the restart button. No funds lost—just another stress test for diamond-handed HODLers.

Infrastructure hiccups happen, but try telling that to leveraged traders who probably aged three years during the downtime. Meanwhile, exchange listings continued uninterrupted—because nothing stops crypto’s mercenary liquidity machines.

Fun fact: That’s 2,400 seconds of outage—roughly how long it takes a VC to explain why their new ’Web5’ project totally isn’t a cash grab.

In Brief

• A 40-minute outage hit the TON network, linked to a faulty queue.
• The team quickly fixed the bug by updating a few key network validators.
• In August 2024, DOGS had saturated TON with 67,000 transactions per second recorded.
• Exchanges had suspended TON transactions following congestion caused by the DOGS memecoin.

In a demanding crypto ecosystem, the reliability of an L1 network like The Open Network remains essential. Especially given growing adoption and strong media exposure. Telegram is the public interface of a crypto project that has become indispensable.

Here are some key figures from this DOGS crisis:

• $1.7 billion in DOGS volume over 10 hours;
• 67,000 transactions per second at peak activity;
• 4 million users claimed their airdrop via Telegram Wallet;
• 1.6 million used their DOGS in the following hours;
• Two major network interruptions between August 27 and 28, 2024.

Despite these disruptions, TON remains a central player in crypto. But every outage erodes confidence a little more.

If TON still stands, the alarm has been raised. The foundation itself has acknowledged an imminent danger: Toncoin is on the brink of major suffocation, it has been assessed. Facing the influx of users, the crypto network could lose footing. Massive congestion becomes a structural threat. The stability of the TON network remains a challenge to watch very closely.
