THORChain network halted following software bug

 THORChain network halted following a package bug

Cross-chain exchange and proof-of-bond network THORChain was halted earlier nowadays because of the results of a bug inflicting “non-determinism between individual nodes."

At around eight pm UTC, the THORChain team ab initio tweeted that developers were conscious of a series of outages and were operating to search out the foundation explanation for the issue.

Roughly four hours later, the team announced an extra update noting that “consensus halts during a distributed state machine are from sources of non-determinism between individual nodes and stop the ledger from changing into corrupted.”

It declared that the following steps were to search out the supply of the non-determinism, unharness associate degree update, and restart the state machine, and whereas noting that the first step was close, there are no updates since, suggesting the developers are addressing a good little bit of a headache.

consistent with THORChain explorer, the network still seems to be halted at the time of writing. However, token swapping platform THORSwap provided an update of its own, noting that its platform continues to be operating.

Devs are aware of a chain halt and have identified the likely cause due to a unique transaction type (nothing to do with solvency).

An update will be posted as soon as there is more confirmed information.

 “Update on the present halt of THORChain Swaps/LP. Funds are safe. Ethereum and ERC-20 swaps are acting on ThorSwap via DEX Aggregator. suspend tight, THORChain devs are on the case!” it wrote.

THORChain infrastructure developers 9 Realms were unfazed by the incident because it advised that ironing out bugs is simply a part of the method of rising the THORChain network.

“Each halt is investigated straightaway by a security team and core devs—resulting in protocol improvements. because the network matures: halt early, halt often,” it stated.

Cointelegraph has reached resolute THORChain for comment and can update the story if a response is received.

THORChain isn’t the sole one to suffer network problems this week, as Meta-owned electronic messaging platform WhatsApp went offline to its a pair of billion users for around 2 hours on Oct. 25. Whatsapp attributed the matter to a technical error, however, didn’t come in any more detail.
