TON Chain Braces for Massive Airdrops from Top Telegram Games

The surge in tap-to-earn games on Telegram's Open Network (TON) has attracted millions of new users, but developers warn that it may lead to technical pressures and unforeseen issues. TON has experienced service outages due to the increased activity, with daily active user addresses reaching 1.1 million and transactions peaking at 14.4 million. Popular games like Hamster Kombat and Catizen are set to launch their claimable tokens, which could further strain the network.
