TON coped with minting activity!
What a week! Not without difficulty, but we did it.
Just for yesterday, TON has processed more than 21 million transactions (which is ~10% of all transactions over the entire previous period). At the same time, we have maintained the cheap fixed cost of transactions, as before. In total, more than 90K TON were spent on network commissions over the past week.
We have learned lessons, some of the fixes have already been made, and work on the remaining ones is planned.
What is next?
This stress test revealed points of further growth and improvement throughout the entire ecosystem: Liteservers network, Resilient indexing APIs, message delivery infrastructure. Recent days results reassured our confidence that we will solve huge challenge of truly mass-adoption and will bring the crypto to every pocket!
The upcoming updates are as follows:
• Next TON validator software upgrade is planned to December 14.
• Voting for TVM upgrade is moved for December 19.
• Tech report on events December 5 - December 12 is planned to the end of this week.
• New requirements and benchmarks for validator and lite-server hardware are planned to be released on next week.
Thanks to the community
We would like to note the well-coordinated and efficient work of community, in particular @Wallet, Tonkeeper, TON API, dTON, re:doubt, Tonhub and Orbs. Services have already begun eliminating detected bottlenecks.
Stay in touch!

Guidelines for API clients
Public liteservers (from the global config) and free plans in TON API and Toncenter exist to get you started with TON quickly. It can be used for learning to program in TON, or for applications and scripts that do not require 100% uptime.
If you're a developer of a popular product you can use:
— More advanced plans in Toncenter or TON API, which provide more requests per second and better stability.
— Other APIs like dton, re:doubt, TON Access may also provide extended plans.
— Run your own node. In this case please pay attention to the hardware requirements.
