TON processed over 80 million inscriptions transactions in 15 days

TON Community is delighted to see the work to supercharge the network led to the successful launch of Inscriptions on TON. While other networks attempt to ban such demanding levels of transactions, TON evolved to carry the load with open arms. There were issues, but they led to great learnings that will shape how TON evolves to even greater levels of scale.

Since TON20 inscriptions launched - 98,945 unique users have made over 80 million transactions. Transactions per second have consistently held above 300 in over a week of minting activity, at one point reaching a peak of 649, a new record for TON Mainnet. TON’s dynamic sharding was in full swing, splitting into a peak of 16 shardchains. At the same time, transaction costs remained fixed and low at an average of ~$0.004 per transaction. In a community-led effort, crucial infrastructure was upgraded, including liteservers, APIs, and message delivery services. Special thanks to TON Diamonds, who set up additional liteservers, and GetBlock, who provided free RPC nodes for key projects.

The road to putting crypto in every pocket and making TON the most scalable blockchain on the planet was never going to be easy, but stress tests will always strengthen our ecosystem.
