TON Blockchain Reaches 1B Transactions Amid Tap-to-earn Game Surge

As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for blockchain trends, I find the recent growth of TON blockchain truly fascinating. Having closely monitored the Web3 ecosystem for years, it’s intriguing to witness the impact of games like Hamster Kombat and Rocky Rabbit on the platform’s popularity. It’s a testament to the power of gamification in driving user engagement and adoption within the blockchain space.


The TON (The Open Network) blockchain has crossed the impressive milestone of 1 billion transactions. This rapid growth underscores the platform’s expanding role in the Web3 ecosystem and Tap-to-earn games, attracting millions of new users and enhancing its reputation in the blockchain space.

A major reason for this increase is the current excitement about Tap-to-Earn games on the TON blockchain. Games like Hamster Kombat and Rocky Rabbit have become very popular, leading to a larger number of transactions due to their widespread appeal. These games, which can be played through Telegram’s messaging app, give players token rewards, boosting user interaction.

Nevertheless, this increase in action hasn’t been free from difficulties. Specifically, on August 28, the TON blockchain encountered a significant outage that lasted more than six hours. This downtime was attributed to the intense excitement surrounding the debut of a new memecoin called DOGS.

On August 27th, I witnessed the rapid growth of DOGS as it was listed on prominent platforms such as Binance and OKX. The buzz surrounding DOGS resulted in an unprecedented surge in network activity, causing the system to momentarily falter and suspend transaction processing due to being overwhelmed.

Although there was a temporary issue, the gaming environment on TON has been thriving recently, experiencing a substantial increase in gaming activities over the past few months. At present, the network is operating smoothly again.
