Zilliqa to Implement ‘Permanent Patch’ Following Recent Disruptions

On September 27 and 29, the Zilliqa blockchain encountered two errors, prompting developers to temporarily halt transactions to address the issues.

The team assured users that their funds are secure.

Following the disruption on September 27, block formation slowed. Two days later, a similar incident led to a temporary complete halt of the process.

Developers clarified that the issues are not related to the Zilliqa 2.0 update.

Several crypto investors reported difficulties accessing funds in the ZilPay wallet, according to Cointelegraph.

At the time of writing, the network is operating smoothly.

The network team is working on a “permanent patch.”

Dear Community,

The network is now back online for validators, and a permanent fix is being implemented for public use.

We appreciate your patience, and will keep you updated.

Back in May, Zilliqa faced similar issues. In December 2023, the network did not process blocks for over half a day. In July 2022, developers had to restart the protocol following a smart contract failure.

In August 2024, block production difficulties were observed in the TON network.
