The Polygon network, a major Ethereum scaling solution, suffered a significant disruption, causing a halt in block production for more than one hour.
The network outage prevented the validation and recording of new transactions and blocks, effectively stalling operations during the downtime.
The Polygon team acknowledged the incident and stated that their engineers are actively investigating the root cause to resolve the issue and restore normal network functionality.
No specific technical details about the cause were disclosed, nor was an exact restoration timeline provided at the time the halt was reported.
This disruption highlights the potential vulnerabilities of blockchain infrastructure used by numerous applications and users seeking faster and cheaper transactions compared to the Ethereum mainnet.
