Polygon’s proof-of-stake (PoS) network experienced a one-hour outage on July 30, disrupting apps and users. While block production reportedly continued, some RPC providers faced issues, leading to app-level failures.

  • Polygon's outage was caused by a hotfix on the Heimdall consensus layer, leading to RPC node desynchronization.
  • QuickNode reported stalled block production at height 74,592,238, though PolygonScan data showed new blocks were still generated.
  • The incident was resolved within hours, with no lasting impact on the Bor execution layer.
