Hype around the DOGS airdrop seems to have been too much for the TON blockchain after the network stopped processing new blocks for more than 7 hours, prompting community members to question the network’s true transactions per second (TPS) rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The outage was the result of a “network overload” due to the high number of <\/span>DOGS<\/span><\/a> transactions, TRON Foundation member Justin said in an Aug. 28 X <\/span>post<\/span><\/a>. He added that the validators on the network became overwhelmed, causing them to lose consensus. Validators were subsequently called upon to restart at 4:00 UTC to restore consensus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only max of 280 TPS (transactions per second) reached. This is far less than earlier claimed theoretical 55,000 TPS. https:\/\/t.co\/GrXb8OQWZo<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/mMTELqRnMM<\/a><\/p>\n
