Layer-2 Ethereum scaling solution Polygon has not produced a new block for over 11 hours, with developers attributing the issue to a technical upgrade on the network.<\/p>\n
On March 10 at 4:20 pm UTC, Polygon (MATIC) network developers notified users on the project\u2019s forum that there would likely be downtime starting at about 5:50 pm UTC due to maintenance required on one of the network\u2019s three layers. A recent upgrade is thought to have caused an error in the network\u2019s ability to achieve consensus.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe suspect there may have been a bug in the upgrade which affected consensus and caused different Heimdall validators to be on different versions of the chain, thereby not reaching 2\/3 consensus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As expected, the outage began at about 5:54 pm UTC. <\/p>\n
The Polygon team issued an update at about 1:30 am UTC explaining that it was still working to fix the error and that a hotfix was deployed to help continue making blocks. That hotfix does not appear to have taken effect as of the time of writing.<\/p>\n
The team also assured<\/a> users that all funds and data on-chain are safe.<\/p>\n
