The open network (sound), an independent Layer 1 blockchain with a symbiotic relationship with the Telegram messaging platform, experienced a brief failure that stopped block production on June 1st before the functionality was restored.
The tone development team announced the issue at 12:51:00 p.m. UTC and restored the network functionality about 40 minutes after identifying the failure. Ton developers wrote in an update:
“A fast solution was published, and the update of only a number of Master chains -validators was sufficient to resume block production. The incident was related to an error within the processing of the Masterchain shipping queue.”
The team also assured users that no funds were affected by the failure and that transactions that were submitted throughout the downtime weren’t endangered.

Due to the increased technical complexity of those chains, blockchain network failures are typically an impact with high-speed high-speed blockchains. With the increasing sophistication of blockchain networks, short failures can turn into more common and will affect the trust of consumers in cryptocurrencies.
Tonne had several failures from dogs in 2024 that caused Memecoin -Memecoin miles
In August 2024, Ton experienced several short failures, which were attributable to a high demand for the Memecoin of DOGS, which caused a network overload that forced a sequence arrest.
The first failure on August 27 was the block production within the Workchain Block 45,341,899. The network failure time took a number of hours before the validators reset their knots at 4:00 a.m. to revive the network consensus.
At 5:30 a.m., the UTC functionality was briefly restored before the network had crashed again hours later, again resulting from the high traffic of users, the memoin on the ton of blockchain.

The following day on August 28, an extra short failure, with block production in Workchain Block 45,350,522.
This second failure lasted about six hours before the issue was solved, and block production was resumed on August twenty eighth.
