“This unexpected challenge is our top priority and our technical team is working to identify and resolve the problem,” the announcement said.

At the same time, blockchain data revealed a stark decline of approximately 50% in Zilliqa’s daily transactions, plummeting to 30,906 compared to an average of 61,000 observed in recent days.
On Monday, activity on the network essentially came to a standstill, with the last recorded transaction occurring around 11 am UTC, and no new blocks have been produced since then.
Matt Dyer, Zilliqa’s CEO, reassured the community in a follow-up statement, stating that the technical team is diligently working to identify and resolve the problem. He emphasized that addressing the issue is the top priority for the team.
Network function restored
Finally, on Monday night UTC time, Zilliqa shared that the network is again operating normally.
“In due course, we’ll provide more information on the issue we encountered,” the update said.
Hello everyone,

We are pleased to inform you that the network is now fully operational. In due course, we'll provide more information on the issue we encountered.

Until the latest statement from Zilliqa that claimed the network was operational again, developers had urged all everyone to “temporarily halt any deposits or withdrawals on the network” until the issue was fully resolved.
Despite the disruption, developers have stressed that users’ funds are secure, writing “funds are SAFU.”
Zilliqa is a metaverse and scalability-focused blockchain that was founded in South East Asia in 2017.
The blockchain’s native token, ZIL, fell sharply lower as the news of the technical difficulties broke on Monday, but has since regained most of its losses.
