🚀🚀🚀 #zkSync Era Resolves Network Glitch Triggered by Automated Safety Check 🚀🚀🚀
The zkSync development team recently fixed a glitch in the zkSync Era platform that occurred on December 25th at 05:50 UTC. The glitch, which lasted a couple of hours, was caused by an automated safety mechanism triggering unexpectedly. The team assured that no funds were at risk during this incident.
The glitch was traced back to a bug in how the operator computed the state update. Although the protocol's calculations were correct, there was a subtle bug in how the operator was also computing it. The team promptly identified and resolved the bug, and normal processing of transactions resumed after catching up with those that had to wait in the mempool.
The resolution was quickly implemented, and an updated version of the node software was released for other node operators to deploy the changes. The zkSync team acknowledged that the initial highly defensive posture might no longer be necessary given the network's maturity.
In a related development, the #NFT project Pudgy Penguins announced the upcoming alpha launch of its #Web3 game, Pudgy World, based on zkSync Era. The alpha is set to launch in Q1 of 2024, and players won't need to own Pudgy Penguins NFTs to participate, although NFT holders may receive certain benefits.
Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz expressed excitement about the alpha launch, emphasizing that Pudgy Penguin owners could play the game without prior knowledge of the underlying #blockchain technology. The team also apologized to affected developers and users for any inconvenience during the incident, expressing gratitude for the community's patience and offers to help.
