Polygon PoS chain experienced technical issues this morning with delayed local fast finality, though checkpoint finality on Ethereum remained active.
- Issue resolved: Network disruption has been fixed
- Ongoing monitoring: Polygon team continues to watch for stability
- Limited impact: Ethereum checkpoint finality stayed operational throughout
The brief disruption affected transaction processing speeds on Polygon's layer-2 network while maintaining security through Ethereum's base layer.
Please note that earlier this morning, the Polygon PoS chain was experiencing a disruption where checkpoint fainlity on Ethereum was still active, but local fast finality on the chain was delayed. Issues have been resolved and the Polygon team is continuing to monitor things.
Earlier today, Polygon PoS experienced a disruption where checkpoint finality on Ethereum was still active, but local fast finality on the chain (i.e. milestones) were delayed. For context: milestones are a lightweight alternative to checkpoints, enabling faster, deterministic
