Polygon Hemidall mainnet experiences temporary outage
The Bor layer, which handles transaction execution, did not experience any downtime and continued producing blocks, the Polygon team said.
The Polygon Heimdall V2 mainnet, the consensus client for the Polygon proof-of-stake chain, went down on Wednesday due to a suspected “consensus bug,” the Polygon team said. The service has been since restored.
Heimdall V2, which handles communication between nodes validators on Polygon, went down about 9:30 UTC and did not impact the Bor layer, used for block production and transaction processing, according to an update from Polygon.
The disruption lasted one hour and was caused by an unidentified validator’s exit from the network, Polygon spokespersons told Cointelegraph.
