Ethereum (ETH) Faced Degraded Performance, Not Outage, Developers Say
Ethereum (ETH) enthusiasts explained why recent incidents on mainnet should not be interpreted as outages, chain splits and so on Nilalaman Ethereum (ETH) lost finality but did not go offline, Polygon CISO stresses Secret sauce of Ethereum (ETH) sustainability Yesterday, Ethereum (ETH), the second largest blockchain and the main smart contract platform, went through two incidents with block finality. It recovered promptly, and the network was online during the whole period of issues, developers say. Ethereum (ETH) lost finality but did not go offline, Polygon CISO stresses Yesterday, on May 12, the Ethereum (ETH) network briefly lost block finality twice. It means that network blocks were not “finalized.” In blockchains, when a block reaches finality, it cannot be altered or removed from the chain. However, the network still managed to process some transactions as it was not “fully” offline. Maybe it wasn‘t the greatest of ideas to explain how the network was DoS’d without deploying the fix first. Ethereum is under stress again, potentially from a malicious actor. Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem veteran Mudit Gupta, chief information security officer at Polygon Labs and partner in DeltaBC Fund highlighted that the network faced no outage: Even during the time of “finality issues,” some blocks were added to the network properly. However,
