The Open Network (TON) blockchain experienced a brief outage on June 1, halting block production for approximately 40 minutes.
TON’s development team announced the issue at 9:21 a.m. ET, attributing the outage to an error in the masterchain dispatch queue. The problem was resolved swiftly, with network functionality restored about 40 minutes later.
Only a few masterchain validators required updates to resume block production, and no funds were lost during the incident.
This incident highlights the importance of robust infrastructure and rapid response mechanisms in maintaining the reliability of blockchain networks. TON’s quick recovery demonstrates the effectiveness of its technical team in addressing unforeseen challenges.
Users and developers are encouraged to stay informed about network updates and to implement best practices for security and resilience in decentralized applications.
