Crust Devlog | March 1st — March 31st, 2025
The Mainnet Data
Technical Development
- Sworker File Processing Capacity Optimization
- The current file processing limit for a single Sworker node is approximately 400,000 files. To enhance the scalability and overall performance of the storage network, we have initiated a focused optimization effort aimed at increasing the upper limit of file handling per node. This includes improvements to file indexing efficiency and internal resource allocation mechanisms. Once completed, this upgrade is expected to significantly boost node utilization and enable the network to support higher data volumes with improved responsiveness. Development is actively in progress.
- TON Ecosystem Integration
- Integration support for the TON ecosystem has reached substantial completion, with the following components delivered:
- MiniApp and SDK: Development has been finalized, providing developers in the TON ecosystem with streamlined access to Crust’s decentralized storage services.
- Developer Wiki and User Documentation: A comprehensive set of technical documentation has been published, including deployment guides, API references, and integration instructions covering key interactions such as file uploading and on-chain storage validation.
- Frontend Optimization: UI/UX improvements have been made to the MiniApp to enhance responsiveness, usability, and loading performance.
- All components have passed internal testing and are currently pending official media rollout coordination within the TON ecosystem.
- Important Update for Crust Wallet Users!
- The Crust Wallet plugin has been upgraded to Crust Wallet V3. Please take the following steps: 1. Backup your wallet JSON file 2. Download the latest Crust Wallet V3 3. Import your address into the new Crust Wallet (Old and new versions are incompatible. Please delete the old wallet to avoid access issues.) Note: Data migration isn’t supported; manual export/import is required.
