Polygon Addresses Transaction Delays with Hard Fork

Polygon conducted a hard fork on September 10th to resolve a technical issue causing delays in transaction finality and disrupting third-party services. This action, aimed at restoring network stability and functionality, highlights the importance of swift upgrades for blockchain resilience. The disruption initially impacted users experiencing delays in reaching ‘local fast finality,’ but Polygon quickly restored full functionality after the hard fork. The network’s native token POL saw a temporary dip before rebounding as confidence returned.
