Layer 1 blockchain, ZetaChain announced that it has resumed activity and is now successfully generating blocks, with transactions on the network processing as expected following a six-hour outage.
Currently, the team keeps actively monitoring any residual issues and reviewing pending cross-chain transactions. The explorer and indexer tools are anticipated to be back online shortly, and new ZetaChain transactions are expected to process as usual.
Meanwhile, cross-chain transactions are experiencing delays. The ZetaChain team also monitors this while transactions are gradually catching back up. The project has assured that all transactions will eventually be completed.
According to the announcement, the network halt was due to a consensus failure linked to a new update implemented on a small subset of validators. To restore network functionality, ZetaChain has reverted the validators it manages to V20.0.5 of the node software and requested that the community do the same. A majority of the community has complied, with approximately 60% now running the correct version of the software.
A few validators who encountered issues participating in the vote after attempting to operate on the consensus-breaking V20.0.6 are currently resynchronizing from snapshots. Once these validators are fully synced, the network is anticipated to resume full functionality.
