Polygon successfully completed Hard Fork that corrects problems of transactions delay

The hard fork of Polygon Solve the problems of completion and synchronization in your network Pos, stabilizing transactions through the network.

***

• Polygon confirms in X that the completion and synchronization were completely restored.
• The hard fork was implemented in Bor and Heimdall at 3 PM UTC.
• The interruption delayed the confirmation of transactions between 10 and 15 minutes.

The Polygon Foundation, entity responsible for providing technological and community support to the Capa 2 network (L2) of Ethereum, He reported that he successfully completed a hard fork on his network PROOF-OF-STKE (POS) To solve a transaction termination problem, which faced delays of up to 15 minutes in the confirmation process due to synchronization inconveniences.

The organization indicated in its X account that the “Checkpoints” and consensus termination were already completely restored in Polygon Pos. In addition, he added that transactions and state synchronization are normally processed and will continue to monitor the network to guarantee their stability.

The hard fork was implemented at 3 PM UTC and was aimed at two key components: Bor, the block production layer, which received the version V2.2.11-Beta2, and Heimdall, the Validators and Consensus Coordination System, which went to V0.3.1. These updates allowed to solve the error in the node software that had caused delays in the “Local quick purpose.”

Background of the problem

According to a report published by The Block, Polygon Use a system called “Milestones” to refer to its local rapid completion in the second layer network (L2). Although the end of “Checkpoints” on the main network of Ethereum It remained active, these events were delayed, affecting the synchronization of validators and slowing down confirmations.

This type of delays increases the risk of temporary block reorganizations and affects confidence in the speed of processing, although system safety does not invalidate. The Foundation said it will continue to monitor the network to avoid future incidents.

Purpose of transactions and stability in networks L2

In Blockchain, The “purpose” is the point where a transaction is considered irreversible after validators achieve consensus. Although the blocks can continue to arrive every few seconds, without completion there is a small risk of reorganization or reversal.

Polygon explained that his recent update of Heimdall V2, launched this year, sought to improve the stability and coordination of validators and eliminate technical debts accumulated since 2018-2019. Weeks after that change, qualified as your “Hard fork more technically complex since 2020”, The network experienced an interruption of more than an hour in its completion.

Impact on Token Pol and market reaction

The Token Pol, native of Polygon, It fell up to 4% during the completion of completion, although later it recovered.

This behavior reflects market sensitivity to the technical stability of networks Blockchain and underlines the importance of rapid and reliable processes in second -layer networks to maintain the confidence of users and investors.
