Open Network (TON), a layer-1 blockchain that is closely integrated with Telegram and serves as the basis for the mini-app ecosystem, has regained its full functionality after a brief outage that temporarily halted block production on June 1.
TON Developer Team is guaranteed to users Stop The transactions made while the system was down without affecting the funds were safe from losses.
Ton recovers its function after suffering a short stop
Blockchain network outages are usually common in high-throughput high-speed blockchains due to the high technical complexity of the chain.
As blockchain networks become more complex, short outages can become more common, preventing the wider consumer adoption of cryptocurrencies and undermining public confidence in technology.
Following the recent brief outage, the team of developers reported the issue to 12:51:00 UTC and was able to restore network functionality around 40 minutes after discovering the outage.
In the update, the TON developers said they released a quick fix, updated several master chain validators, allowing blockchains to start block production again. According to the team, the issue was caused by an error in processing the MasterChain Dispatch Queue.
The team also revealed that a full technical report will soon be released to address exactly the reasons that caused the issue. Blockchain users have revealed concerns that the rapidly growing blockchain network frequently handles short outages of significant amounts of data experiences, and so will grow. In this example, Ton's flash reaction helped to minimize damage.
Telegram relies more on the Cryptocurrency Program's TON, so the network faces great pressure to remain stable. Everything is back to normal, but we expect concerns about its long-term reliability to arise.
Despite some short suspensions, Tonne's profits increased institutional investment
In particular, this is not the first short halt. In August 2024, Ton suffered from several short outages, causing the network to crowd and shut down the chain due to high demand for dog meme coins.
The first outage occurred on August 27th, when block production was suspended with workchain blocks 45,341,899. Network downtime lasted several hours until the node was reset to 4:00 UTC and reestablished a network-wide consensus.
The functionality was temporarily restored in UTC at 5:30am, allowing users to access the network again before the network crashed again after hours. The reason behind the sudden crash was due to users for excessive movement of dog memokine on the ton blockchain.
The next suspension occurred on August 28th. That day, Ton faced a brief halt. This has resulted in block production being stopped at workchain blocks 45,350,522. This second outage lasted about six hours before it was resolved, and block production resumed on the same day.
Even after a short network outage, Ton has been gaining retail attention and institutional investment from the large digital asset names in the crypto sector. Telegram Open Network received $400 million in March 2025 from venture capital companies such as Sequoia Capital, Draper Associates, Coinfund and Skybridge.
