TON to test new Mintless Jettons technology when distributing HMSTR tokens
TON developers announced that they will use new Mintless Jettons technology when distributing tokens for the Hamster Kombat clicker game, which will allow for more efficient distribution of HMSTR among millions of users.
TON emphasized that the new technology could be an effective solution to the problem of blockchain overload due to a surge in activity, and will also help reduce the cost of issuing tokens.
When using the old Jetton technology (the token standard on TON), it was necessary to “mint” tokens for each recipient and place many smart contracts on the blockchain during the airdrop. This cost the application creators significant amounts of money.
Thanks to the new Mintless Jetton technology, the smart contract for issuing coins will be activated by the user himself, and the gas fee will be debited from his wallet, which must have a positive balance in Toncoin.
TON representatives warned network validators about the increased load on the blockchain, since the number of active Hamster Kombat users who will begin issuing tokens is more than 100 million per month.
