TON Core Update 2022.05
Node
— Improved persistent state serialization - optimized memory usage; nodes start the serialization process now not at the same time.
— Improved peer-to-peer network stability and DDoS resistance.
— Improved lite-server DoS resistance for running get-methods.
— Initial node synchronization improved - nodes with low network speed and/or bad connectivity will synchronize faster and consistently.
— Fixed some theoretical edge cases in TVM arithmetic operations related to big numbers (2**63+).
— RocksDB updated to a newer version.
TonLib
— Support smart contract libraries.
— Get-methods completely fill
— Get-methods support
— Improved messages listing for transactions.
— Added extended block header params.
— Added
Misc
— Fixed rarely manifested bugs in
— Lite-client supports base64 remote public key as CLI argument.
Thanks to all the contributors who participated in this update!

Mainnet validators please update your software to new version:
— in mytonctrl run
— 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.

New testnet
Developers usually test their products on a testnet (a separate network where coins have no value) before launching them on the mainnet.
This week TON testnet was completely relaunched on powerful hardware to increase its stability and responsiveness. Testnet API, explorers, wallets and other testnet infrastructure have been updated.
We launched the previous testnet exactly a year ago, when there were not so many developers. We are glad to see that now the number of TON developers has increased greatly, so that the previous testnet, launched on rather weak hardware, has ceased to cope with the load.

Nominator pools
In the Q1 of this year, the first TON staking pools (nominator pools) were launched by the TonWhales team on their own smart contract. At the moment, users have staked more than 7.5M Toncoins in these pools!
Today we present an alternative version of the pool smart contract. This smart contract is natively integrated into the mytonctrl tool used by validators.
This means that now any validator can easily run their own pools and users can stake Toncoins into these pools.
The tonvalidators.org catalog has been created where validators can publish their pools, and users can find the most suitable pool for a stake.

Today’s Cloudflare outage brought down a large portion of the internet
Luckily, a company that provides network services to millions of sites quickly fixed the problem.
The current internet has become quite fragile due to centralization and excessive corporate dominance. We wrote about this earlier, predicting that the number of such incidents will only increase.
We see the future of the global network in decentralization and blockchain technologies. TON has a chance to play a decisive role in this because TON is a decentralized metacloud.
Our vision is described in more detail in this article: https://telegra.ph/TON--The-metacloud-06-15

Toncoin mining has successfully ended.
In July 2020, all of the available Toncoin tokens (98.55% of the total supply) became available for mining. The tokens were placed in special Giver smart contracts, allowing anyone to participate in the mining — up until today. Users mined around 200,000…
Introducing TON DNS
TON DNS is a service that allows users to assign a human-readable name to crypto wallets, smart contracts, and websites.
With TON DNS, access to decentralized services is analogous to access to websites on the internet.

Introducing TON Payments
TON Payments is a technology for micropayments and a micropayment channel network. It can be used for many instant off-chain value transfers between parties without network fees. Safeguards built into the system ensure that these transfers are as secure as on-chain transactions.

On the TON blockchain, block time is about 5 seconds. Even with an increase in network load, that time won’t increase either. In other words, in those 5 seconds, millions of transactions can be processed. Moreover, the TON blockchain has exceptionally low…
Mytonctrl update
TON has a very convenient tool for installing and maintaining a node or a validator.
Just take a server with the recommended hardware requirements and run one noscript.
The mytonctrl tool received a big update c83a3a:
New functionality
— Quick installation mode using dump download.
— Nominator pool support is now in the master branch with new improvements.
— Validators can now issue certificates for liteservers.
Improved work with wallets
— Added support for different wallet versions (v1, v2, v3) and wallet version detecting.
— Import & export wallet by address and private key.
— Now no restart is required to apply changes to wallets.
Stats improvement
— More info in the status command and more accurate calculation of indicators — e.g., TPS.
— Display of past elections, validators, and complaints.
— Improved telemetry (disks iops, network pps, uname, memory, swap).
Misc
— Refactoring.
— Miner removed.
Thank you to igroman787, the permanent maintainer of mytonctrl.

Results of the first-ever Hack-a-TON!
The hackathon’s goal was to show the best application of TON payments technology in 48 hours. We received over 80 submissions.
The teams made MVPs showing the use of TON Payments in various areas — social networks, API, streaming, calls, advertising, games, internet traffic, decentralized finances, and more. The ideas are so cool that we decided to double the prize pool.
It was also the first TON programming event with an offline part — the participants could gather in Prague.
See the results on the @toncontests channel.

Last week, we were pleased to announce that TON has become a sponsor of the competitive programming platform Codeforces.
Codeforces is a popular platform where tens of thousands of the world’s strongest programmers compete in various competitions at the highest level.
More than 11,000 programmers took part in our last event, CodeTON.
In total, more than 1.5 million people are registered on the site.

The TON DNS auction starts tomorrow, July 30, at 9:00 UTC on the dns.ton.org site.
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.
