Two Ethereum “layer two” networks, Linea and Polygon, confronted disruption this morning in two apparently unconnected incidents.
Standing updates report that Linea confronted “degraded performance” of its mainnet sequencer, however {that a} repair had been carried out by 06:32 UTC.
Polygon, however, reported “delays in block finality” as a consequence of a bug in node software program. The submit stresses that “the chain is running, and blocks continue to be produced,” including the crew is “actively debugging.”
Block explorers for each networks confirmed disruption, sparking issues of simultaneous outages, and worries as as to if the incidents had been linked.
Based on Wu Blockchain, the Linea outage came about over a “46-minute interval between blocks 23,145,386 and 23,145,387.”
The Lineascan block explorer is now displaying common block manufacturing.
In Polygon’s case, the chain continued producing blocks however the information wasn’t mirrored on the Polygonscan explorer, seemingly all the way down to RPC points. This led to hypothesis that the underlying community had skilled an outage.
On the time of writing, Polygonscan reveals the newest block, 76273250, as being produced three hours in the past.
One Polygon full node operator suspected a “chain split,” the place two variations of a blockchain run repeatedly from each other. Nevertheless, the disparity in reported block heights can be seemingly linked to the delays cited within the standing report.
Whereas blockchain outages aren’t widespread, each Starknet and Base (additionally Ethereum “layer twos”) have skilled downtime since early August.
