The Open Network (Ton) is the blockchain initially developed by the Telegram messaging company. Faced with regulatory pressures in the USA, it then passed into the hands of independent developers. While keeping a close link with the Telegram application. This weekend, the blockchain was the victim of a momentary breakdown which was quickly taken care of.
- The Blockchain The Open Network (tone), initially developed by Telegram, underwent a momentary failure this Sunday, quickly resolved without risk for user funds.
- The breakdown was caused by an error in the treatment of the Masterchain queue, a central element of the multi-chaînes of tone architecture, playing a crucial role in the synchronization of the network.
Your victim of a breakdown
Sunday, June 1, the teams of The Open Network (tone) have announcement a network failure. Thus, as explained via a publication on X, the blockchain has ceased to produce blocks.
“The Ton Core team is aware of the problem of creating blocks and provides for a correction in the coming hour. We will continue to provide updates and keep you informed when the problem is solved. »»
Just under an hour after this announcement, the teams of your announcement have solved the problem and Resumption of block production. They also reassured users, declaring that this failure would not generate any risk concerning user funds:
“Transactions carried out during network problems are not likely to be lost. User assets on accounts are not likely to be lost. »»
Although a full report on the origin of the failure must be published soon, the teams explained that it was due to a « Error in the treatment of the MasterChain queue ».
What is this MasterChain?
In fact, the Masterchain is a central element of the multi -hunge architecture of tone. Thus, it plays a crucial role in synchronization and consensus of the entire network.
Indeed, your has been imagined as a multi-chain ecosystem. Developers can create blockchains with specific parameters depending on their application field. These are called Workchains.
For its part, the Masterchain will act as binding between all these channels, and ensure the synchronization of the latter.
In parallel with this Masterchain, we find Basechain. It is used in particular for transactions between users by offering low costs.
A parallel can be done with Ethereum, where the Beacon Chain manages the crucial features such as consensus and the Layer execution takes care of transactions and smart contracts.
Last August, Your had already been the victim of a breakdown. This had been generated by an explosion of activity in the face of a major craze around the same.
