We urge validators to vote for config 71!
It will decrease bridge swap delays and enhance user experience.

To vote for config please use

if you are using MyTonCtrl.
For validators which do not use MTC, please follow https://ton.org/docs/#/howto/config-params?id=_4-voting-for-configuration-proposals doc
Web wallet tonwallet.me will be moved to a new domain in the near future.

Web wallet is now available at the new wallet.ton.org domain!

If you have any problems, please contact support @toncoin_help.
If you are a developer and use tonweb, please update to version 0.0.26+.

Previous versions of the tonweb will soon become incompatible with the public endpoints.
Developers, the Content-Type: application/json HTTP request header becomes mandatory when working with the toncenter.com.

This has already gone into effect on testnet and will soon go into effect on mainnet.
Developers using toncenter.com and tonweb must obtain an API key (as described on toncenter.com for mainnet and on testnet.toncenter.com for testnet).

Starting tomorrow, the use of toncenter without API key will be rate limited.
Validator tool mytonctrl was transferred from repository https://github.com/igroman787/mytonctrl to repository https://github.com/ton-blockchain/mytonctrl.

GitHub redirects from the old path to the new one.

Users of the TON extension for Google Chrome, please write down your wallet recovery phrases if you have not already done so.

Click menu in the top right corner → Backup Wallet → Write down your 24 recovery words in correct order and store them in secret place.

Google Chrome has released a new extension format V3. With it extensions will become more secure and private.

The TON extension will be updated to the V3 format in the coming days.

You may need wallet recovery phrases, make sure you have them written down.
On April 8, toncenter.com will be limited at 10 requests per second by IP with API key and 1 request per second without API key.

If you need more, please run your own endpoint.
We remind you that the recommended RAM size for the validator is 64 GB, the minimum is 32 GB.

If you are validating on hardware with less then 32 GB RAM - immediately stop sending new election requests (type command set stake 0 in mytonctrl), you should not participate in subsequent elections until you improve the hardware.

This is a mandatory requirement for network stability.
Mainnet validators please update your software to new version:

— in mytonctrl run update then upgrade https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

— if you don't use mytonctrl please manually rebuild code from master branch of https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

Update your validators one by one, don't update all at the same time.
The testnet will be restarted from scratch tomorrow on more powerful hardware to increase its stability.
The TON testnet has been completely restarted. Testnet config, testnet.toncenter.com, explorers and wallets have been updated.

Please update the config in your testnet services if you are using it as a local file.

The long history of blocks and the large size of the blockchain state with a small number of nodes is the cause of lags. Since the testnet does not have as many nodes as the mainnet, we will restart it every 3-6 months so that the testnet always remains fast.
Now TON master branch can be compiled on Apple M1 processors without any additional steps.
Network validators, on Aug. 2, it is planned to set the root DNS contract in the network config by voting — all validators need to participate.
Setting the root DNS in the network config

Validators please vote for setting Ef-OJd0IF0yc0xkhgaAirq12WawqnUoSuE9RYO3S7McG6lDh address in config 4 as root DNS.

To vote via mytonctrl you need to use the command:
vo 28570401098048530419903479567404779787541823236808968536408335541289727996611

If you don't use mytonctrl use this instruction.

The DNS source code can be found on the GitHub.
Security update of the network is scheduled on August 8. We are asking mainnet validators to schedule time for the maintenance.

Note, that update will not be activated immediately after node software upgrade. Instead, to preserve consensus all the time, update will be triggered by acceptance of new network config.

Therefore the whole process will require from you
1) Update your validator node
2) Wait till synchronization restores
3) Voting for new config
The order of actions is primary important.

Besides improving the security, this update contains node stability and memory consumption improvements, speed up of access to database and enhancing stats.
Mainnet validators:

1. Please update your software to new version:

— in mytonctrl commandline run update then upgrade.

— if you don't use mytonctrl please manually rebuild code from master branch of https://github.com/ton-blockchain/ton.

Update your validators one by one, don't update all at the same time.

2. Wait till synchronization restores.

3. Strongly after software update and sync, please vote for new network config param #29 (to inspect new config param you can use od command in mytonctrl):

— To vote via mytonctrl you need to use the command: vo 29795181976365520175863428275263019662169778992074990458062119590680042465200

— If you don't use mytonctrl use this instruction.
Due to the temporary decrease in the efficiency of validators after the current elections, we urge you to postpone the update by 4 hours until 17:00 UTC.

If you have already updated - it's OK, nothing needs to be done.
We found imperfections in recent TON node update. Please postpone upgrade till special notification.
Everything is ready to continue.

Validators please continue upgrade and follow instructions from recent post: upgrade and vote.

Validators who have already upgrade on August 8 (and not on 570da56 commit), please repeat all steps again.
