Polygon is experiencing a temporary delay in consensus finality because of a bug affecting the Bor and Erigon nodes, according to an official incident report on its status page
The issue, which began early on Wednesday, disrupted some Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services and caused apps built on the network to encounter access issues. While the Polygon blockchain remains live and continues producing blocks, a number of RPC providers and validators were forced to rewind to the last finalized block and resynchronize
The Polygon team confirmed that the bug is preventing node progress for certain configurations. However, restarting the affected nodes has resolved the issue for some participants. “We see that a restart of nodes has fixed the issues for many validators and RPC providers,” Polygon said
Engineers are collaborating with infrastructure providers to accelerate the debugging efforts and full functionality. The team clarified that the incident does not affect core chain operations and assured users of a swift recovery
Cointelegraph reached out to Polygon Labs for comments but did not get a response by publication
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
