Dear TON Research Community,
We are thrilled to announce the release of TON Research V1.2. This update brings significant improvements and new features designed to enhance your experience and interaction within our thriving blockchain community.
Current Status

Bug Fixes and System Upgrades
Updated Email Infrastructure
- Initial System Limitations and Upgrade: Originally, our forum system notifications were managed through a personal Gmail account, [email protected]. Due to a significant increase in user activity, this setup became insufficient, leading to its outage on April 1st.
- Transition to Enterprise-Level Email: To enhance reliability and accommodate growing demands, we upgraded to an enterprise-grade Google account, [email protected], on April 1st. However, we encountered further capacity issues, resulting in another outage on April 13th.
- Deployment of Large-Scale Enterprise Email System: To ensure continuous service and handle our expanding user base more effectively, we have now implemented a large-scale enterprise email system. As of April 19th, all system communications are being sent from [email protected], marking a significant step in our commitment to operational excellence and professionalism.
