Degen Chain, the Ethereum layer 3 blockchain, has resumed operations two days after suspending block verification.
The pause, which began on May 12, rendered several decentralized applications and the bridges that run on them inoperable.
Today the network is back online This is after Conduit, a rollup infrastructure platform, resynchronizes the nodes of the genesis block.
block indexing
The Conduit team stated that Degen Chain is now live, but its block explorer is still in the process of indexing. Therefore, the company has advised infrastructure providers to start indexing from designated blocks to ensure seamless consistency of the process.
Conduit also took steps to filter transactions from approximately five addresses, each containing millions of failed transactions. It added:
“A few (less than five) addresses were filtered out during the replay process to get the network online as quickly as possible. This address had tens of millions of failed transactions and was delaying the replay process. Transactions from this address may be replayed, but there will be a delay that does not prevent the network from coming back online.”
According to Degen Chain’s block explorer, transaction indexing is ongoing and the rate is 95% at press time.
What caused the Degen Chain outage?
before name He explained that the problems with Conduit’s Degen Chain started last Friday when he completed his custom configuration.
According to the company, the update caused two chains (Degen and Proof of Play’s Apex) to “stop publishing batches for over 24 hours. Upon resuming, the first batch triggered a reorganization on both chains.”
However, Conduit promised to provide a more detailed post-mortem on the incident, adding that the upgrade that caused the network issues was verified on testnet before being released on mainnet.
Meanwhile, recent issues within Degen Chain have sparked divisions within the community amid growing interest in layer 3 blockchain networks.
Skeptics, notably Polygon CEO Marc Boiron, have previously warned that these networks primarily serve to divert Ethereum’s value to layer 2 platforms hosting these layer 3 solutions.
