PANews reported on November 1 that the ZetaChain status page released an update at 12:23: “The cause has been identified. The network outage was caused by a new update rolled out to a small number of validators that resulted in a consensus failure. We believe we have identified the root cause of this consensus failure and will provide a more detailed update on the root cause after reproducing the issue on the development network. The current priority is to restore the normal operation of the network. We have rolled back the managed validators to version v20.0.5 of the node software and asked community members to do the same. Most members of the community have completed this operation, and currently about 60% of participants are using the correct version of the software. A small number of validators were unable to participate in the vote after trying to run the version that caused the consensus outage (v20.0.6) and are currently resynchronizing from the snapshot. Once these remaining validators have completed synchronization, we expect the network to resume operation. We will provide another update in 60 minutes and hope that the network will be back to normal before then.”
As of now, the ZetaChain mainnet has suspended block production for 6 hours.
