Dear TON Validator
We would like to notify you that from the 26th of September 10:00 UTC we are expecting an increased load on the TON blockchain, as the Hamster Kombat game project with more than 100 million monthly active users will be minting coins on the blockchain, which is a unique and first event of this scale for the blockchain industry.
We kindly request from September 26 to September 29:
1) be in touch. Follow the https://t.co/y5jJiDiGkB channel. If emergency actions are required apply within the hour.

2) Ensure your hardware meets or exceeds system requirements: https://t.co/y1DimBXjpg. Upgrade if necessary, one at a time.
3) We imperatively request you to use mytonctrl.
In your mytonctrl console:
- Update to the latest version: update master
