Mainnet Validators and Node Owners

Please update your node software (see "Target versions"):

update master
upgrade master


Target versions:
— mytonctrl: c171ae5
— node 1690ba0



This update is mandatory for validators and node owners and contains stability fixes.

Update is fully backward compatible and doesn't require update of ton-http-api (version v2.0.64+) and ton indexer (version v1.2.6+)

If you have several validator nodes, please update them one by one (update, wait for synchronization, move to the next one)
Mainnet validators and node owners
Scheduled network update on March 31

We are asking validators and nodes to schedule a time on Tuesday, March 31 at 8:00 UTC for validator software update.

This update is mandatory and introduce changes to consensus that is expected to be activated in early April.
Mainnet Node Software Update [v2026.03]

Please update your node software (see "Target versions"):

Update with mytonctrl:
update master
upgrade master


Target versions:
— mytonctrl: c38f540
— node af252bc

If you are not using mytonctrl or using ubuntu older than 22.04, check this instruction (https://telegra.ph/TON-Node-Upgrade-202511-11-05).

If you have several validators, please update them one by one:
update a validator => wait for synchronization => move to the next one validator
__________________________________________________

Update is mandatory for:
- validators
- liteservers
- archive liteservers
and should be done before EOD April 1.


This release includes breaking changes to Catchain 2.0 Consensus that will be activated in early April and are therefore required for validator operation. It also contains many stability improvements.

This release does not include breaking API changes and is fully compatible with recent versions of ton-http-api (version: v2.0.64+) and TON Indexer (version: v1.2.6+).

Sub-Second mainnet activation timeline for validators

March 31 (today): Upgrade validator nodes to the version supporting the latest consensus changes.

April 2: Vote to activate the new consensus on the basechain and enable a moderate block rate increase.

April 7: First, vote to fully activate fast consensus on both the basechain and masterchain, and then upgrade validator nodes.
Mainnet validators

Tomorrow, April 2, at 8:00 UTC, we ask validators to set aside time to vote on two proposals:

— Bump the TVM version to 13. This fixes some logical issues in transaction execution and serialization (which does not affect real-world contract behavior) and allows faster than 1 block per second.

— Vote to activate Catchain 2.0 in the basechain, with a block time of 800 ms and a first-slot timeout of 1600 ms.

Due to the transition to the new consensus, and to prevent unjust penalties after the new consensus is activated, voting on fines in MyTONControl is disabled until April 20. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mainnet Validators

Please ensure that your node is up-to-date (see "Target versions") and vote for proposal described above.

The proposals for the first stage of the migration to the TON Sub-Second regime have been accepted. Thank you for your support!

The mainnet basechain is already running on Catchain 2.0 with an 800 ms target block time. Services using streaming APIs, such as MyTONWallet, have already seen up to a 3x improvement in transaction UX speed. Services relying on older, more established APIs should continue to operate as usual.

The second and final stage of the migration, which will fully enable Catchain 2.0 on the masterchain and reduce block time to 400 ms, will begin on April 7. We would appreciate your support for this step as well.

⚠️ Please note that full activation of Catchain 2.0 consensus requires an additional open UDP port for ingress traffic on nodes actively participating in validation (full nodes and lite servers are not affected). Documentation on this will be published later today in this channel.
Mainnet Validators

Voting and the upgrade have been postponed from April 7 to April 8 at 14:00 UTC.

Additional time has been allocated for infrastructure preparations by certain validators and services, as well as for additional preparation of the TON Core development team.
Mainnet validators

Tomorrow, April 8, at 14:00 UTC, we ask validators to set aside time to upgrade and vote on the following proposal:

— Vote to change Config Parameter 30, to activate Catchain 2.0 in both masterchain and basechain with block production rate of 400ms.

In addition to improving network performance from a UX speed perspective, this change is also expected, based on the current network configuration, to increase total validator rewards. However, the final validation APY cannot be determined in advance, as it depends on the dynamic relationship between the total staked amount and the reward pool.
Mainnet Validator Software Update [v2026.04]

Please update your node software (see "Target versions") and vote for full Catchain 2.0 activation:

Catchain 2.0 activation

The proposal to activate Catchain 2.0 passed the first round with more than 85% support. Thank you!
We expect activation to take place shortly after the start of the next round, around 7:00 a.m. UTC.


⚠️ At the moment, about 7% of the network has not yet been updated. Please:

1) update immediately and


2) open QUIC port (QUIC instructions) and verify that the QUIC port is available on validators.ton.org.
Sub-Second is Live

The vote to enable Sub-Second has passed, and the blockchain has switched to the new high-speed mode.

The blockchain is currently running stably.

About 7% of validators have not yet updated, so the block production rate is still slightly below the target

We ask validators who have not yet updated to do so.

API developers and product developers — please make sure everything is working properly in your services.
