According to Cointelegraph, the Zilliqa mainnet experienced a block production interruption on September 27 and 29 due to a system vulnerability, forcing the blockchain network to temporarily suspend transactions to fix the problem.
On September 29, Zilliqa proactively reported a system vulnerability that prevented the network from creating new blocks. At the same time, multiple crypto investors reported losing access to funds in their ZilPay browser wallet.
Community members expressed concern about Zil Chain because it had just recovered from a similar incident on September 27. However, the previous vulnerability only significantly slowed down block production, while this vulnerability completely stopped block production.
Zilliqa responded to user concerns on X, saying the network was operating normally before it stopped producing blocks. The team is investigating, debugging, and trying to restore the network.
Zilliqa also clarified that the ongoing network issues are not related to its recent Zilliqa 2.0 upgrade. The September 27 vulnerability was fixed on the same day, but the September 29 vulnerability is still being addressed.
As of press time, the Zilliqa network has not yet returned to normal operations, but the blockchain has been restored for validators and the team is working on a “permanent fix.”
