TON blockchain validators prepare for Hamster Kombat coin creation.
Anticipating an increase in system demand, the Open Network (TON) blockchain proactively asked its verifiers to prepare to onboard millions of users from the Web3 game Hamster Kombat.
On September 25, a Telegram channel dedicated to tons of validators, developers, and moderators warned of an upcoming increase in bandwidth demand for the blockchain.
According to the announcement, Hamster Combat users are asked to ensure high availability of Hamster Combat (HMSTR) tokens on the blockchain:
The quality of verifications directly affects the quality of the blockchain. We appreciate your participation in the Open Network.
