The outage, which began on August 28, halted new transactions and block production, sparking concerns across the network. The memecoin, DOGS, gained traction rapidly after its launch on August 27, quickly becoming available on major exchanges like Binance and OKX.</p><h2 id="header-0">Validator Consensus Issues</h2><p>The sudden rise of DOGS led to immense pressure on TON’s infrastructure, resulting in validators struggling to maintain consensus. The last confirmed transaction took place in block 45341899, after which no new blocks were produced. Tonscan, a blockchain tracker, confirmed that the network had not generated any blocks for nearly three hours, with the most recent block appearing at 06:11:46 UTC&#43;8.</p><p>Bybit suspended deposits and withdrawals in response to the instability. The <a href="https://cryptotale.org/hashkey-catizen-partner-for-web3-gamefi-expansion-on-ton/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON</a> Foundation explained that the surge in DOGS-related transactions overloaded the network’s garbage collection processes, causing many validators to lose consensus. The foundation plans to restore consensus by calling upon validators to restart at 4:00 UTC with specific flags to address the issue.</p><p></p><h2 id="header-1">Memecoin Hype and Market Response</h2><p>DOGS quickly made an impact within its first ten hours, achieving a trading volume of $1.7 billion and reaching a market cap of $891 million. However, its price has since dropped from $0.0018 to approximately $0.0012.</p><p><a href="https://cryptotale.org/telegram-open-network-disrupted-by-dogs-memecoin-launch/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on Cryptotale.</a></p><p><strong>Visit the links for more information </strong><a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|</p>
