Ontology Restarts Mainnet Block Production After 43-Hour Halt
Ontology said its core infrastructure is safe and no funds were lost on its network, though it did not name the affected ecosystem project.
Ontology resumed block production on its mainnet after it had been halted for about 43 hours. The halt followed a security warning over an ecosystem project, according to digitaltoday.co.kr.
Ontology said the core infrastructure is safe and no funds were lost on the Ontology network itself.
The company did not disclose the name of the affected ecosystem project or details of the vulnerability, and did not say whether that project or its users lost funds.
Bitget suspended deposits and withdrawals for the Ontology network on the 10th, citing wallet maintenance. The exchange said a resumption date would be announced separately.
Earlier network halt
On the 10th, Ontology said in a notice it had received an urgent report about a potential security risk involving an ecosystem project that could threaten network assets. Multiple Ontology consensus node operators agreed to halt block production to help investigate and reduce the risk. On August 31, Ontology halted its mainnet after developers found security concerns during a routine check.
