+ **Third-party verification.** [OpenChainBench](https://openchainbench.com/benchmarks/l1-finality) is an open-source, live benchmark that independently measures TON masterchain finalization (listed under the **Gram** ticker following the [rename vote](https://ton.vote/EQDQvywF226NXojPky_9gwbCz0FPoygqY11bGl03SONNBs5V/proposal/EQAv-VS2OM80SYLB0ouRWRcpFg4J0L-egUf1-utF-OJ6h0rK), via `tonapi.io`) at **~0.4 s (p50, 24h)**, which confirms the ~1 s finalization lag target above. The benchmark ranks 11 L1 chains under an open methodology; TON currently leads finality time in the comparison.
