Polygon executed a hard fork on September 10 to resolve transaction finality delays, highlighting the importance of prompt upgrades for blockchain stability.
Transaction Finality Issues
The transaction delay issue emerged on September 10, with users experiencing delays of up to 15 minutes in achieving 'local fast finality.' Developers traced the issue to a bug in Polygon's node software that disrupted validator synchronization.
Successful Hard Fork Execution
The hard fork was successfully executed on September 10 at 3 p.m. UTC, restoring normal milestone confirmation and checkpointing. Following the upgrade, Polygon confirmed that consensus finalization was once again fully operational.
Network Development and Future Plans
Despite technical challenges, Polygon continues to develop as a cornerstone of Web3 infrastructure. The network supports billions of foreign exchange transactions and actively participates in real asset tokenization, underscoring its adaptability to growing demands.
The resolution of transaction finality issues underscores Polygon's ability to swiftly address problems, which is crucial for the network's ongoing growth.
