According to Odaily, TON Status has announced the release of a new tool designed to assess the efficiency of validators. The latest version of 'mytonctrl' includes a new command, check_ef, which outputs efficiency data for validators from the previous and current rounds. This command retrieves data by invoking the checkloadall tool. The previously used efficiency scores obtained from the status command are now outdated and have been removed. TON Status had previously indicated that a penalty system for underperforming validators would be fully operational by September 9 and would become stricter in the future.
