Polygon zkEVM blockchain sees 12-hour ongoing outage
The Polygon zkEVM Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain hasn’t produced a block for over twelve hours at time of publishing. The Polygon zkEVM team has yet to officially respond, though a message on Polygonscan refers to “unscheduled maintenance.”
Polygon zkEVM, the Ethereum Layer 2 network which was launched a year ago this week, appears to be suffering a network outage. Multiple block explorers show an outage of over twelve hours, at time of publishing, since a block was successfully sequenced and added to the chain.
The Polygon zkEVM team has yet to officially respond, though a message on the zkEVM section of Polygonscan reads "The zkEVM mainnet network is currently on-going unscheduled maintenance, block data might not be up to date."
Launched on March 27, 2023 with a symbolic first transaction by Vitalik Buterin, Polygon zkEVM is a zero-knowledge scaling rollup solution that's compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, or EVM. However, Polygon zkEVM has failed to gain the traction of similar Layer 2 networks, seeing far fewer transactions than its competitors, according to The Block's data dashboard .
Polygon did not immediately return The Block's request for a comment.

Broadcom's stock price plummeted due to market repricing triggered by "seller-guaranteed" credit risk concerns. As traditional cloud giants near the limit of their capital expenditures, both Broadcom and Nvidia have entered the market by providing guarantees for SPVs to securitize computing power and attract private credit funds. While this move extends AI capital expenditures, it has also intensified market worries about issues such as rising debt levels, residual chip value, and customer concentration risks.
