When the hamster burst into the TON ecosystem, it seemed that the network would not withstand the influx of new users. But it coped with it with flying colors! The distribution of tokens attracted tens of millions of people, and TON withstood this test, remaining stable. If such a load had fallen on other blockchains, they would not have simply fallen, but would have collapsed like a house of cards.
Hamster Profit: Is It Worth Participating?
What about the profit? I'll be honest: you shouldn't expect such X's as with NOT. Back then it was just an incredible "catch". My tappers who participated in the distribution earned from $5 to $100. The numbers, of course, are not so hot, but this is money that is not lying around under your feet.
TON has proven its resilience under load. This is an indicator of reliability and readiness for mass adoption. There may be many more such distributions, but it all depends on the hamsters and their appetites.
Yes, the numbers are not mind-blowing. But this is just the beginning. When it comes to scaling, it is not only the number of participants that matters, but also the network’s ability to maintain functionality under high loads. TON has done it. So the next step is monetizing this influx.
I believe that such projects are the future. They attract millions, pass the test of strength and show the world that new technologies are ready for mass use.
