Kakao Blockchain 'Klaytn' Recovers After 13-Hour Outage

Error Occurred: New Block Not Being Created

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Kakao subsidiary GroundX's blockchain platform 'Klaytn' experienced a disruption lasting 13 hours.

According to the information and communication (IT) industry on the 30th, an error occurred on Klaytn's mainnet 'Cypress' at 10:32 PM the previous night, preventing the creation of new blocks. The issue was resolved around 12:30 PM the following day.

Until the disruption was resolved, services of partner companies using Klaytn were also suspended. Klaytn has about 70 partners participating, of which 28 operate services.

This disruption is the first since the official launch of the Klaytn mainnet in June last year. GroundX stated, "The issue was caused by communication problems between consensus nodes, and the detailed cause is under further analysis," adding, "We will strive to prevent such disruptions from occurring again in the future."
