The Polygon Heimdall V2 Mainnet, the Consensus Client for the Polygon Proof-of-Stake Chain, dropped Wednesday due to a suspected “agreed bug,” the Polygon team said. The service has since restored.
Heimdall V2, which holds communication between nodes validators in the polygon, drops about 9:30 UTC and does not affect the bor layer, used for processing block and transactions, according to a Update From the polygon.
The interruption lasted an hour and caused an anonymous validator exit from the network, polygon spokesman told Cointelegraph.
Making a block in Bor Mainnet is relentless throughout the time, and any differences are different between the actual network time and the explorers block are now resolved. Polygon spokesman said:
Following Heimdall’s recovery, we noticed the inconsistencies of the synod emerging in many RPC providers’ bor node. We are actively working with all RPC partners to speed up the resolution and restore full existence. A provider returns online, with a slightly delayed posting. “
The consistent network time is critical for blockchain networks that charge themselves as an infinite alternative to traditional finances available 24 hours a day, year after year. However, Challenges at Network Time Growing up due to increased complexity of the network.

Heimdall V2 upgrading is live
The Heimdall V2 upgrade is launched In early July, the fall of the end hours of nearly five seconds and upgrading the network stack, which is now relying on Cometbft and Cosmos-SDK V0.50.
“This is the most technological complex Hard Fork Polygon Proof-of-Stake (POS) ever seen since its launch in 2020,” Polygon co-founder, Sandeep Nailual, Says In a post of July 8 x.
As reduced block times and higher network throughput continued the focus of blockchain networks, improved performance introduces the system complexity and more destruction points.
Heimdall V1 is also a source of network downtime issues. In March 2022, Polygon experienced Some downtime hours Due to an error in the heimdall layer.
At this time, the Polygon team Says The Heimdall V1 issue is the result of a software bug that has caused validators in different versions of the blockchain.
