Crypto scaling platform Polygon is currently working to fix a problem that has caused an outage for its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM).
Yesterday, Polygon announced the outage on the social media platform X, reassuring users that the issue only impacts the zkEVM and does not affect Polygon’s proof-of-stake blockchain or other projects built using its blockchain development tools.
The root cause seems to be an issue with Polygon’s transaction processing system, which organizes transactions into batches before sending them to the zkEVM smart contract on Ethereum’s main network. Polygon stated it is “working to fully resolve the issue” and will provide a detailed report on what happened once service is restored.
Some members of the crypto community have expressed surprise that the extended zkEVM outage has not received more public attention and discussion. “Why is nobody talking about how Polygon’s zkEVM has been down for 10 hours and is still down?” asked one prominent X user.
Another noted “Polygon’s zkEVM was down for over 10 hours and no one said anything.”
