Dear TON Validator

We would like to notify you that from the 26th of September 10:00 UTC we are expecting an increased load on the TON blockchain, as the Hamster Kombat game project with more than 100 million monthly active users will be minting coins on the blockchain, which is a unique and first event of this scale for the blockchain industry.

We kindly request from September 26 to September 29:

1) be in touch. Follow the @tonstatus channel. If emergency actions are required apply within the hour.

2) constantly monitor the status of your validator and hardware during these days

The quality of validators directly affects the quality of the blockchain. We appreciate your participation in The Open Network.

The network is experiencing performance issues. Transactions may take longer than usual to complete. A fix is being worked on.

Сritical vulnerability in OpenSSH

Recently a critical vulnerability in OpenSSH was discovered: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-6387
Since most of validators work on Ubuntu/Debian releases and use OpenSSH, we recommend check and update software on validator nodes if necessary.
