Polygon Network Faces 10-15 Minute transaction Delays
Polygon network is experiencing a significant slowdown in transaction processing. Currently, it takes about 10-15 minutes longer to finalize transactions due to a technical glitch.The network, widely known for its efficiency, is now dealing with this unexpected hurdle.
At 10:30 AM UTC on September 10, the latest block validation happened approximately five hours prior. This indicates a clear disruption in the usual fast-paced operations.The official statement noted, “Block data is currently delayed. We are working to resolve this.”
The problem arises from a “milestone issue” affecting several nodes. Despite the setback, Polygon assures that the chain remains operational, and blocks are still being generated. Though, finalizing these blocks is where the delay occurs.
- OhmDateTime: as of September 10 at 8:52 UTC, investigations are ongoing.
- Current Status: 103 out of 108 nodes are active.
- Total Blocks Processed: Over 76.28 million.
Checkpoint finality is now functioning as expected within the first 15 minutes, showing some progress.Polygon has identified a fix and is deploying it to all validators and service providers.
The team states, “We’re collaborating closely with RPC providers to speed up resolution.” Users are advised to monitor the status page for updates. Though restarting nodes offers a temporary fix, the team continues to address the root cause.
This bug specifically targets the consensus layer but does not threaten overall network security or risk user funds. It underscores the need for rigorous network maintenance in the ever-changing blockchain world.
