According to Odaily Planet Daily, TON Status announced that it has launched a new tool to evaluate the efficiency of validators. The new version of "mytonctrl" adds the command check_ef to output the efficiency data of the validator in the previous round and the current round.
This command retrieves data by calling the checkloadall tool. The efficiency scores previously obtained from the status command are deprecated and have been removed.
TON Status previously stated that the penalty system for poorly performing validators will be fully operational on September 9 and will be stricter in the future.
