- TON Strategy recorded stronger staking returns in May with annualized yield approaching 18%.
- The company supported major TON network upgrades focused on speed and scalability.
- Nearly all of its 227.5 million TON holdings remained staked at the end of May.
TON Strategy Company reported improved preliminary staking performance for May while supporting a new round of network upgrades aimed at strengthening The Open Network ecosystem.
The Nasdaq-listed digital asset treasury company said the latest developments highlight continued progress in both staking operations and blockchain infrastructure. The company held approximately 227.5 million TON as of May 31, with around 226.8 million TON actively staked.
The large staking position continues to serve as a key part of its treasury strategy while helping secure the network. Preliminary results showed a gross staking yield of about 1.48% during May, up from 1.39% in April.
TON Boosts Network Performance and Staking Growth
On an annualized basis, the yield increased to approximately 17.8%, compared with 16.7% in the previous month. The stronger performance reflects steady growth in staking returns as the company expands its participation in the TON ecosystem.
As one of the largest Toncoin holders and validators, TON Strategy voted in favor of recently approved governance proposals that became effective on June 4. The company believes continued protocol development will strengthen the blockchain’s ability to support large-scale consumer applications.
The approved changes focus on improving network speed, scalability, and operational efficiency without affecting validator rewards or existing staking mechanics. Instead, the upgrades aim to help the network process increasing activity more effectively.
The TVM 14 upgrade improves smart contract execution and creates a more predictable development environment. Other enhancements optimize validation processes and improve the generation of collated data, helping validators process blocks more efficiently.
TON Upgrades Network Performance Security and Scalability
The network also introduced a dedicated block synchronization layer that speeds communication between validators and reduces delays across the blockchain. Expanded validation capacity increases transaction throughput and provides additional room for future growth.
Infrastructure improvements also allow larger stake concentrations on fewer machines while maintaining participation opportunities for smaller validators. New resource controls and security measures strengthen protection against spam, congestion, and denial-of-service attacks.
The June upgrades follow earlier improvements introduced in April that reduced transaction costs and improved processing speed. Together with new developer tools, these updates support TON’s long-term goal of handling high-volume applications across the Telegram ecosystem, including emerging artificial intelligence services and other consumer-focused blockchain products.
