# Scanner: TON worker O(N) HTTP fan-out per scan cycle — one TonCenter call per intent

**Severity:** medium
**Domain:** Scanner
**Labels:** performance, scanner, scalability

## Description

`scanner/ton_chain.go:131` issues one TonCenter API call per pending intent per scan cycle. With N pending intents, this creates N outbound HTTP calls per cycle. Under load or with many intents, this exhausts outbound connection capacity and hits TonCenter rate limits.

## Options

1. Batch intents by destination/jetton and query once per group.
2. Bounded-concurrency worker pool for per-intent calls.
3. Subscribe to TonCenter streaming/index instead of polling.

## Recommendation

Batch queries by jetton/destination where the API allows; otherwise bound concurrency. A TODO is already noted in the code.
