This morning, TON hit a snag with network congestion, stopping block creation for around five hours.
Speculations flew about the cause, especially following the recent arrest of Telegram's founder. But, it seems the real culprit might have been $DOGS, with a sudden spike in trading after a market dip.
The rush to sell $DOGS, likely due to fears of a broader market dump, overloaded TON, making it hard for the network to handle the transaction flood.
The good news is that the team fixed it.
The takeaway: This event highlights that TON's infrastructure needs beefing up for mass adoption. Future upgrades are a must for smoother transaction handling.
