🆕 TON’s schedule is being reconsidered due to recent downturns and upcoming token listings, suggesting the blockchain may no longer have breaks.

 

TON's tech lead, Anatoly Makosov, announced TON Mintless Jettons, enabling instant token distribution to millions of users for under a dollar. As a demo, the Mintless Points token was distributed to 18 million wallets.

ℹ️ Unlike traditional tokens, the smart contract is created during the user's first action.
— Makosov promised support for the new standard from popular TON projects and encouraged others to take note.

Hamster Kombat, with an audience of 100 million users, will also use this technology during its listing on September 26 (for comparison, NOT had 20 million users at listing, and DOGS had 50 million).

By the end of August, there was significant blockchain congestion due to a large number of transactions following the DOGS listing and the loss of consensus among validators.

In response, TON developers updated and optimized the network, introducing new penalties for underperforming validators.
