The TON (The Open Network) blockchain has crossed the impressive milestone of 1 billion transactions. This rapid growth underscores the platform’s expanding role in the Web3 ecosystem and Tap-to-earn games, attracting millions of new users and enhancing its reputation in the blockchain space. 
A significant factor behind this surge is the recent buzz surrounding Tap-to-Earn games on the TON blockchain. Games such as Hamster Kombat, Rocky Rabbit, have gained widespread popularity, contributing to an increased volume of transactions. These games, accessible via Telegram’s messaging app, offer players token rewards, which has driven higher user engagement.

However, this surge in activity has not come without its challenges. On August 28, the TON blockchain experienced a notable outage that <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/08/28/ton-network-down-for-3-hours-due-to-dogs-memecoin-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lasted over six hours</a>. The downtime was linked to the overwhelming hype surrounding the launch of a new memecoin called DOGS.&nbsp; 
Announced on August 27, DOGS quickly gained traction, being listed on major exchanges like Binance and OKX. The frenzy over DOGS led to a massive spike in network activity, which overwhelmed the system and <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/08/29/ton-blockchain-stops-transactions-again/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">halted transaction</a> processing temporarily. 
Despite the hiccup, the gaming ecosystem on TON continues to flourish, with a significant uptick in gaming activity in recent months. As of now, the network is back to normal operations.
