⚑️ Sub-Second Mainnet Activation Starts Now

TON Core has announced the mainnet rollout of the Sub-Second upgrade.

This is a consensus upgrade designed to move TON toward sub-second finality and bring on-chain UX closer to Web2 responsiveness.

Rollout plan:

πŸ“… March 31: Validators upgrade nodes to the version supporting the latest consensus changes

πŸ“… April 2: Validators vote to activate the new consensus on the basechain and enable a moderate block rate increase

πŸ“… April 7: Validators vote to fully activate fast consensus on both the basechain and masterchain

πŸ‘‰ Full announcement

Catchain 2.0 activation is underway

TON validators are voting to fully activate Catchain 2.0, a consensus upgrade that brings sub-second finality to the network.

The first phase has been live since April 2. Today, at 14:00 UTC, the final vote started to cut block times to 400 ms across the entire network.

To activate the upgrade, validators vote on-chain. The proposal needs support from at least 75% of validators (by stake weight) across two validation rounds, roughly 36 hours.

πŸš€ The TON blockchain just got upgraded and is now 10Γ— faster.

⚑️ Block rate increased 6Γ—.

⏱ Transactions are now instant, subsecond.

πŸͺ™ This was step 1 of 7 to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA).

Next step: cut the already low transaction fees by 6Γ—. βœ‚οΈ

⚑️ Storm Trade faced a sophisticated targeted attack β€” and held the line

We regularly see headlines about DeFi protocols getting hit: losing millions, users losing funds, projects shutting down. That’s exactly why security has always been one of the core priorities behind Storm Trade.

Yesterday, April 21, Storm’s infrastructure was targeted by a large-scale coordinated attack. The attacker compromised part of the infrastructure services, including the oracle subsystem, and attempted to manipulate asset prices.

The objective was clear β€” to drain funds from the protocol as quickly as possible. This is the exact scenario that has impacted dozens of projects across the industry.

However, Storm Trade was prepared for this.

Our monitoring systems detected abnormal activity at an early stage, and the team immediately paused the protocol before the attack could cause significant damage.

Confirmed damage is less than 2,000 TON (under 0.03% of TVL).


For context, similar attacks in the market have led to losses ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars. In our case, a multi-layered security architecture allowed us to contain the incident with minimal impact, fully covered by internal buffers.

What you need to know now:

Your funds are safe and protected by multisig.

β€’ The TON Foundation has been notified, and next steps are being coordinated jointly.
β€’ Withdrawals from vaults and unstaking are temporarily available via SDK (a user-friendly UI is already in development).
β€’ Funds in open positions remain within the protocol and are fully protected. We will provide a transparent mechanism for returning them to users.
β€’ The protocol will resume operations after a full incident investigation, an independent security audit, and a complete infrastructure rebuild.

What’s next: Today, the entire team is focused on one thing β€” bringing Storm back stronger, more resilient, and more secure than ever.

This incident proved the most important point: Storm Trade withstood a serious attack and validated the effectiveness of its multi-layered security system, combining technical safeguards, economic constraints, and real-time monitoring.

Thank you to everyone who stays with us.
Your Storm Trade team

⚑️ In one week, TON fees will drop 6Γ— β€” to just 0.00039 TON (~$0.0005) per transaction, fixed regardless of network load.

πŸ†“ Soon after most transactions go fully feeless. Zero commission.

Blockchain Fee Reduction

The TON Core team has prepared a blockchain update to reduce fees by 6x, in line with Pavel Durov’s MTONGA plan.

This update includes:

1) Performance improvements

The previous Sub-Second update improved not only operation speed but also overall blockchain performance, making a fee reduction possible. Since then, additional optimizations and performance improvements have also been implemented, including a new mempool based on a persistent Cartesian tree.

2) Fixes

In addition to performance improvements, this update will include fixes for issues identified on mainnet after the Sub-Second release. In particular, it addresses loss of synchronization on some liteservers and rare block rate instability.

Planned Schedule:

April 28, 2026 12:00 UTC β€” Validator software update.
April 30, 2026 13:00 UTC β€” Vote to lower gas prices in the blockchain configuration.

Lower fees are important for the next stages of the MTONGA plan. Since fees do not constitute a significant portion of validator rewards, validator rewards are expected to decrease by less than 0.4%.

Mainnet validator operators are asked to be prepared to update their software on 28 April and to participate in the vote on 30 April.

⚑️ Fees in TON have dropped 6Γ— β€” to nearly zero.

Next step β€” Telegram replaces the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and becomes its largest validator.

βš™οΈ The focus shifts to tech superiority.

🧩 New ton.org, new dev tools, new performance upgrades.

🧭 Timeline β€” 2-3 weeks.

πŸͺ™ This is step 3 of 7 to Make TON Great Again.

πŸ’Ž Telegram becoming TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization.

βœ… It lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network β€” with Telegram as the counterbalance.

πŸ“ˆ More and more TON gets locked in validation as everyone competes for 20%+ APR.

πŸ›  Developing for TON just became 10x faster. The new toolchain makes smart contracts easy to create, test, and deploy.

Most importantly, fully AI-ready.

It replaces TON’s fragmented tooling stack with one developer flow. Start building!

Introducing Acton β€” a new, modern toolchain for developing smart contracts on TON

Acton covers the full development lifecycle: project creation, testing, debugging, dApp integration, deployment, and verification.

CLI-first by design, it works naturally for both developers and AI agents.

1. One toolchain, not a bunch of utilities
Create, build, test, lint, format, deploy, and verify TON contracts in a single coherent environment around Tolk.

2. A tighter build-test-debug loop
Write tests directly in Tolk programming language, run them fast, debug failed transactions, and inspect what actually happened on-chain.

3. Security built in
Coverage, fuzzing, mutation testing, gas profiling, and CI help catch regressions early.

4. A native debugger
Step in, step over, step out, watch variables, and inspect the call stack. A smooth Web2-style developer experience, now inside a blockchain language.

5. Friendly for AI agents
A modern CLI tool that becomes an agent's runtime, with skills and manuals bundled.

6. IDE integtation
Use it with VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Zed, and other LSP‑based editors.

πŸͺ™ Toncoin Name Change β€” Community Vote

TON has changed substantially in recent months. Telegram is taking on a leading role in the network and is becoming its largest validator. The chain itself is now 10Γ— faster with fees down 6Γ—. Gram was the name the network's founders gave the token in the original TON White Paper, and it's never left the codebase.

That is why Telegram is proposing to rename the native token from Toncoin to Gram, a fitting moment to bring it forward.

The blockchain stays TON / The Open Network, only the token's name and ticker change. Balances, addresses, contracts, NFTs, staking, DeFi, all unchanged. No swap, bridge, claim, or migration. No action required.

⚠️ Any site, bot, or link asking you to "claim GRAM" or "migrate TON" is a scam.

How the vote works
Runs for one week on TON Vote, an established open DAO platform on TON β–ͺ️ Voting power is weighted by TON balances
