TON Blockchain Faces Unprecedented Load as Hamster Kombat Launches

• Hamster Kombat’s launch could redefine crypto with the largest token airdrop ever.
• Validators must monitor systems closely to ensure TON’s network stability and integrity.
• Mintless Jettons technology enables efficient token distribution while minimizing transaction costs.

The TON blockchain is preparing for a surge in activity as the Hamster Kombat game gets ready to mint tokens. This project, with over 300 million users, will conduct a massive airdrop. The event, many believe, is going to the largest token launch ever. 

Starting September 26 at 10:00 UTC, validators must remain alert as the network faces unprecedented traffic. The developers see this as a crucial test for the TON ecosystem.

Validators on High Alert

From September 26 to September 29, validators must closely monitor their systems. Increased blockchain load could create network challenges. TON has asked validators to watch their hardware and status to ensure optimal performance.

If emergency actions become necessary, validators should respond within the hour. This proactive approach is vital to maintaining network integrity during this critical period.

Mintless Jettons Technology for Efficient Distribution

The TON Core Dev Team developed Mintless Jettons technology in preparation for this event. This innovative solution allows efficient token distribution to millions of users with minimal gas fees, keeping costs below $1.

Using advanced Merkle Tree technology, Mintless Jettons create a single hash to represent all airdropped amounts. This significantly reduces the storage normally required for token distribution. As a result, users receive their tokens instantly without any preparation, improving the overall user experience.

The TON network has seen an influx of new projects lately. This surge in activity demonstrates the blockchain’s capability to handle substantial on-chain interactions. 

For instance, the Catizen game, launched on September 20, brought 18 million monthly active users. This was followed by the Rocky Rabbit game and WATCoin, each with impressive user bases. The TON network accommodated this surge smoothly, demonstrating its scalability.
