TON Slashes Block Times to 400ms With Catchain 2.0 Upgrade

[tradelikepro]

The Open Network (TON) has rolled out its Catchain 2.0 consensus upgrade, cutting block times to just 400 milliseconds and enabling near-instant transaction performance. Payments now settle in about one second, while trades execute in real time, bringing blockchain speed closer to traditional financial systems.

This upgrade significantly boosts network efficiency and scalability, especially given TON’s deep integration with Telegram. With access to over a billion users, TON is positioning itself as a high-performance infrastructure layer for payments, trading, and decentralized applications at global scale.
