Polygon PoS Sees Transaction Finality Lag, Patch in Progress

Polygon Completes Hard Fork to Address Finality Issue

Polygon rolled out a hard fork to fix a finality bug that was causing a 10 to 15-minute delay in transaction finality on its Polygon PoS network. The bug originated from a misconfiguration in the consensus mechanism’s finality logic after a recent protocol upgrade, which extended the time transactions take to be confirmed irreversible. Polygon first shipped hot fixes for the finality issue on its block production layer Bor and consensus layer He…

Polygon PoS Sees Transaction Finality Lag, Patch in Progress

Polygon’s proof-of-stake chain is live, but transactions are taking longer than usual to lock in, with finality running 10–15 minutes behind schedule.Finality is the assurance that a transaction or piece of data is irreversible once confirmed and added to a block in the blockchain.The foundation said in an X post that a fix has been identified and is being rolled out to validators and service providers.The slowdown was tied to issues on some Bor…

Polygon Restores Block Finality After Emergency Hard Fork

By mid-week, developers rushed through an emergency hard fork that restored confidence, bringing block finality back on track. For several hours, the chain’s “milestones” — Polygon’s version of fast local finality — were lagging as much as 15 minutes behind. While block production itself never stopped, users noticed slower confirmations and validators struggled to keep in sync. The root of the problem was traced to a bug buried deep within the B…

Polygon Addresses Network Disruption With Hard Fork And Milestone Fixes

Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, Polygon reported the completion of its hard fork. Following this update, milestones are being processed as expected, state synchronization is functioning, checkpoints are moving forward, and consensus finalization has been fully restored on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake network. “We will continue to monitor the network closely to ensure everything remains stable. Thank you for your patience,” the team behind P…
