TONcoin
(TON),
the
native
token
of
the
TON
blockchain,
is
down
5%
late
Wednesday,
after
the
protocol
failed
to
produce
a
block
within
the
last
three
hours,
according
to
on-chain
data.
A
blockchain
not
producing
blocks
for
an
extended
period
of
time
is
concerning
because
it
disrupts
network
stability,
potentially
leading
to
security
risks
and
transaction
delays.
These
crashes
are
uncommon
with
blockchains,
but
do
occur
during
times
of
high
network
activity.
