This is very disappointing because indeed the TON Blockchain is not what the team said, they have a few days of disruption, even I have not been able to send my USDT and TON from the Telegram wallet to the Exchange today, and the price has dropped quite far.
If there is no improvement in this problem, it is likely that the TON network will collapse and fade, and maybe they will return to their initial release price, even though the current momentum is the best momentum for TON because there are so many application developments in telegram, but the TON network cannot fully support it all in terms of transactions.
since pavel is having problem, maybe the solution will be delayed, we don't know how autonomous TON is without the core founder like pavel, it's like ETH losing vitalik, though i'm sure the people behind ton blockchain could solve it, but they definitely have something more urgent to take care of so I don't expect immediate solution.
but it's just disappointing that the TPS is really far from what have been marketed. even ETH didn't shut down when there are many so many transactions just fee spike and that's it. despite ETH being called out as the least scalable smart contract blockchain nowadays.
