Avalanche Blockchain Faces Block Production Disruption Following New Inscription Wave
Avalanche, a layer-1 network, has encountered a block production failure lasting nearly two hours, as reported on its status page.
The interruption, which affected the primary network, was observed through the Avascan browser, with the last transaction recorded at block 42046853 (19:13 UTC+8).
The Avalanche status page issued a statement indicating a “Block Finalization Stall,” with developers actively investigating the issue.
Notably, according to the update, the stall in block finalization on the primary network hinders the acceptance of new blocks, leading to operational disruptions.
On February 23 at 12:02:27 pm UTC, Avalanche’s primary network experienced block production issues, leading to a seemingly halted network.
The last blocks on Avalanche’s P-chain, X-chain, and C-chain subnets were observed over an hour earlier, as shown on Avalanche’s blockchain explorer.
An official alert related to the block finalization stall was issued by Avalanche, stating that developers across the community were investigating the issue preventing blocks from being accepted on the primary network.
