According to PANews, TON Status has issued an announcement urging validators with an index lower than 100 to prepare for emergency action by 12:00 PM Beijing time on August 28, 2024. The call to action comes in response to a significant increase in network activity, with over 20 million transactions recorded in the past two days. This surge has caused the garbage collection mechanism to be overloaded for an extended period, leading to a loss of consensus among many validators. To restore consensus, validators are required to restart using specific flags at approximately the same time.
Tonscan data indicates that the latest block on the Ton network was produced at 06:11:46 Beijing time, and no new blocks have been generated for the past five hours.
