Abstract generation in progress

[Coin World] Polygon successfully executed an emergency Hard Fork on Wednesday to address a software vulnerability on its PoS on-chain that caused disruptions in transaction finality. The vulnerability affected the Bor and Heimdall systems, leading to the suspension of milestone creation, freezing of validators and services, and ultimately resulting in a 5-hour pause in Block production. During the outage, exchanges suspended trading of Polygon, and the POL price fell by 3-4%. This incident raised concerns about the network's reliability, especially following recent upgrades aimed at increasing speed. Another Ethereum Layer-2 Node, Linea, also encountered issues on the same day, highlighting the ongoing stability challenges within scalable solutions.

Layer 2 solutions are not very effective.

Five hours, that's too much of a pump.
