Ethereum experienced a 2nd finalization delay but has since recovered

2023-5-13 00:10

Ethereum experienced a second finalization delay on May 12, developers said.

Terence.eth (@terencechain) wrote on Twitter:

“Mainnet is not finalizing again. Prysm is releasing a patch today. Will keep you updated!”

Later comments from Terence.eth indicate that those transactions have since been finalized and that other clients are also releasing patches. However, he said that Ethereum is “not out of the woods,” implying that the problem has not been fully resolved.

This represents the second finality delay in 24 hours. Ethereum also failed to finalize transactions for 25 minutes on May 11 for reasons that were unclear at the time.

The cause of the issue has now been partially identified. Terence.eth said that Ethereum nodes operating the Prysm client received troublesome attestations that led the client to use heightened CPU and memory, leading into a “death spiral.” He said that most clients, except for the Lighthouse client, are prone to similar issues.

Terence.eth also said that Prysm nodes found a “subtle bug” that occurs when clients enter the “death spiral.” This does not appear to be the ultimate cause of the issue.

Superphiz, who commented on yesterday’s delay, said that he expects a third incident to occur. He urged node operators to upgrade their hardware and switch to a minority client.

Neither incident involved a total outage of Ethereum. The blockchain continued to partially process transactions, which were later finalized properly.

$500 Ethereum Price Back In Play, Says Analyst – Despite Growing Fear of Ethereum 2.0 Delay

Ethereum has for weeks now remained in a tight range. Where investors once profited from volatile price action every now and then, they have had to contend with marginal changes. Because of this, most traders have moved to other more action-ready coins such as Cardano’s ADA, Stellar’s XLM, and Chainlink’s Link. But could it be poised […]

Is Everyone Prepared for Ethereum’s January 1 Hard Fork?

Ethereum (ETH) has chosen the year’s most inactive day to perform a hard fork. On January 1, the Muir Glacier hard fork, as it is known, is supposed to once again delay the difficulty time bomb. Difficulty Diffusion Simply Forgotten During Istanbul Hard Fork The reason for choosing that date is ignominious, as the developer team apparently forgot to diffuse the difficulty creep during the Istanbul hard fork just a couple of weeks prior.
