TON Radar
TON Core v2026.08 adds collators to the Simplex protocol so block generation can be offloaded to specialized nodes, improves node metrics and includes stability fixes. The release is stable-tagged, while actual network impact still depends on operator rollout.
Radar Expert explains TON as an asynchronous sharded L1: masterchain/basechain, dynamic shard split/merge, hypercube routing, message-driven account execution, validator elections and staking, wallets as smart contracts, Jettons/USDT and Telegram Mini Apps through TON Connect.
TON Core v2026.06 adds fullnodes to the fast-sync overlay, introduces Plumtree broadcasts, improves validator synchronization through consensus changes, separates the DHT server and includes Global Version 15 with restricted library publishing.
