Ethereum Announces Urgent Patch For Transaction Validation Issue
A few hours ago, the Ethereum developers announced an emergency patch for Prysm clients affected by the recent transaction validation issue.ăăEarly in the morning of May 13, the Ethereum network again recorded a technical problem, making the block unable to be validated by the validator and guaranteed to be stored on the blockchain.ăăIt is known that the incident lasted for nearly an hour and a half, more serious than the one that happened 24 hours ago at dawn on May 12.ăăThe failure of Ethereum to validate the transaction will cause the blockchain to enter an âinactivity leakâ state, whereby the sender of the validation results on the blockchain will not receive a reward. In contrast, the validators who cannot connect to the network will not receive a reward still be fined.ăăAccording to some experts, the core of the problem may come from a problem in a client running the node the validators use, but the clients are still deploying the patch. As a result, there is a warning that transaction validation problems will likely continue on Ethereum for the third time.ăăThe Ethereum developers have yet to determine why the system is having such an error, leaving the community extremely concerned
