Ton blockchain has experienced another network outage.

“Block production on Ton experiencing outage from 19:19 UTC,” Ton wrote on X. “DoGS appears to be due to the heavy burden of token mining. Ton Core is working on a solution.

Tons of network outages during the arrest of Telegram's CEO
Ton also said Tuesday's downtime was due to congestion on the network after the DOGS airdrop. Various top exchanges supported the airdrop, with Binance and Bybit among those delaying the broadcast amid TON network issues.
The surge in activity also comes as Telegram CEO Pavel Durov faces multiple charges related to the messaging app. Durov was arrested in France late Saturday and held in police custody for 96 hours. The police released him from prison on August 28, 2007.
The events surrounding the TON network outage and Durov's arrest caused the Toncoin (TON) token to crash.
After a brief recovery above $5.75, TON token is back below $5.50. Despite some losses since Saturday, Toncoin's price is down 18% in the past week.
