Now, operations on the TON Blockchain are finalized 10 times faster under low and moderate loads — in 3-5 seconds

Today, we have completed a series of TON kernel optimizations planned for the first half of 2025.

During this period, we released 5 updates that affected all key kernel components: the validation process, cryptographic operations, network, database, and blockchain state serialization and deserialization.

As a result, the performance of a single shardchain has increased significantly — now the current load of the main network is handled by just one shardchain (instead of 4 previously).

This means that during low and moderate network load, all operations — such as sending tokens or exchanges on DEXes — are executed without cross-shard interactions in a single block, i.e., in 3–5 seconds. Previously, finalizing such operations could take up to 30–50 seconds.

Under high load, the blockchain will continue to scale through sharding, which will increase processing time, but we have also implemented a number of big improvements to increase network stability during peak times. More details about this and future plans will be provided in one of the following posts.
