The blockchain platform Zilliqa is under scrutiny again following recent technical issues causing network disruptions.
Recent Incidents with Zilliqa
On January 16, the Zilliqa blockchain network, designed to enhance scalability and efficiency with sharding technology, resumed operations after disruptions caused by node synchronization issues. These nodes, crucial for transaction validation, fell out of sync, hindering transactions.
Community Reaction and Implications
During the outage, Zilliqa assured users of fund safety and recommended verifying balances via their official explorer, ViewBlock.io. The team apologized for the inconvenience, emphasizing a quick resolution focus. However, such incidents raise questions about network reliability among users.
Zilliqa's History of Disruptions
This is not the first instance of technical challenges for Zilliqa. In September 2024, a more severe disruption occurred due to a bug halting block production entirely. These incidents followed soon after the Zilliqa 2.0 upgrade, raising concerns about infrastructure reliability.
Zilliqa's recurring outages and technical issues continue to raise concerns over network reliability, possibly hindering its growth and wider adoption.
