**TON Is Preparing for Increased Network Load**

In the TON Status channel, validators were [asked](https://t.me/tonstatus/239) to prepare for possible increased load on the blockchain.

Similar warnings were previously issued [ahead](https://t.me/tonstatus/143) of airdrops by major services, such as Hamster and Kombat.

It is possible that the blockchain is preparing for increased load related to the launch of the non-custodial wallet Gram Wallet in Telegram, which Pavel Durov previously [announced](https://t.me/durov/533) for this summer.
