💎 TON’s new network layer didn’t quite land After the 2026.06 update on July 22, some TON validators started slowing down. Block production dropped from 2.47 to 2.30 blocks per second, while network delays increased. 🔝 What changed ⚫️ Part of the validator set saw performance issues after update 2026.06 ⚫️ Block speed fell from 2.47 to 2.30 blocks per second ⚫️ Network latency increased ⚫️ TON Core, led by Anatolii Makosov, decided to bring back the old broadcast mechanism ⚫️ The rollback will happen in TON 2026.07 ⚫️ The new network layer will be refined using real network metrics instead of theory 🔝 Why it matters ⚫️ TON is testing infrastructure in production, not on pretty slides ⚫️ The new mechanism did not perform equally well across validators ⚫️ Bringing back the old broadcast layer looks more like pragmatism than panic ⚫️ For a chain built around speed and reliability, these metrics matter more than announcements ⚫️ The good part: TON Core is publicly admitting the issue and rolling back the weak part before it becomes a bigger problem TON wanted a new network layer and got a reminder that blockchains do not run on optimism. Sometimes the smartest upgrade is a rollback with receipts. 🤑 TON Insider 🤑
