PolygonScan Stopped Working, Unfounded Fears Of Blockchain Outage Were Raised
Key Points:
- Unfounded rumors that the Polygon blockchain was momentarily offline were spread due to an outage at network explorer Polygonscan.
- Since then, the Polygon team has stated that blockchain development has not ceased and that the problem was caused by “a few nodes” becoming out of sync.
- The last network outage, which was caused by the need for maintenance on one of the network’s three tiers, happened on March 11, 2022.
Unfounded rumors that the Polygon blockchain was momentarily offline were spread due to an outage at network explorer Polygonscan.
A block hadn’t been processed by the blockchain for more than an hour and a half, according to data from PolygonScan, which sparked rumors that layer-2 scaling solution Polygon may have been experiencing an outage.
Since then, the Polygon team has stated that blockchain development has not ceased and that the problem was caused by “a few nodes” becoming out of sync.
“Block production never stopped – However, there could have been a degradation in network performance temporarily. These nodes have resynced and systems are back to normal.”
The spokesperson said the team was also aware that Polygonscan is down, but alternative explorers can be used.
“We are working with polygonscan to bring them back up,” said the spokesperson.
Speculation of a possible outage first emerged on Feb. 22, with some pointing to an apparent halt in block production based on data from Polyscan — which showed the blockchain’s last block and transaction was processed at around 8:35 pm UTC on Feb. 22.
The last network outage, which was caused by the need for maintenance on one of the network’s three tiers, happened on March 11, 2022.
The crypto company Polygon Labs, which created the Polygon blockchain, stated on February 21 that it was eliminating 20% of its workforce, or about 100 roles.
