💥Interruption in #Polygon revives debate on resilience in Blockchain networks
The Polygon network experienced a one-hour operational pause following the unexpected exit of a validator, causing a critical failure in Heimdall, its consensus system. Although the Bor layer continued to generate blocks without interruption, several decentralized services reported failures.
The incident occurred shortly after a complex technical update, highlighting the risks associated with modifying critical infrastructures. Despite the team's quick response, the interruption reignites doubts about the stability of L2 networks in the face of the accelerated growth of the ecosystem.
