Reducing End-to-End Latency in TON Blockchain

The TON Blockchain has demonstrated remarkable scalability, evidenced by its 50-fold growth over the past year and completed giant token minting events for gaming projects with multi-million user bases.

Last year, we introduced a significant Accelerator update designed to further enhance throughput, raise limits, and stabilize block generation times, independent of network load. This update was instrumental in achieving a world-record result during our performance tests. Currently, we are progressively implementing this upgrade across the TON mainnet.

In parallel, we have set a new goal: reducing End-to-End latency on the TON blockchain. End-to-End latency refers to the duration between sending a transaction and receiving the transaction result by the user.

Our conducted research, along with a detailed action plan — some elements of which have already been implemented — is available in the TON Optimization Roadmap.

Additionally, we're actively researching Sidechains and Layer 2 solutions for TON. For detailed information about recent developments in this area, please refer to the TON/TVM Sidechains Overview.
