The incident highlights the importance of maintaining awareness and taking proactive steps in the continuously evolving landscape of blockchain technology.
The Casper Network has resumed operations after a temporary halt due to a security breach. On July 31 at 3:18 pm UTC, 64 validators unanimously agreed to resume validation, representing 85% of the CSPR staked on the network.
According to a post on the X social platform, the network has recovered and is now fully operational. The security incident was resolved through a concerted, decentralized effort involving validators, engineers, and other stakeholders.
The update published by the Casper team noted that the pause in network operations presented a technical challenge, especially as it occurred in the middle of an active era rather than at the end. Two blocks containing four transactions were removed to address this, effectively orphaning these transactions and their effects on the blockchain.
