Avalanche confirms block finalization stall, developers currently investigating
Quick Take: Avalanche has confirmed a block finalization stall, preventing blocks from being accepted on the primary network. The last block on the Avalanche C-Chain appears to have been more than an hour ago, according to on-chain data.
“Developers across the community are currently investigating a stall in block finalization that is preventing blocks from being accepted on the Primary Network.” Avalanche stated in an incident report at 6:30 a.m. ET.
Data from an Avalanche blockchain explorer shows that the last block on the Avalanche subnets (P-Chain, X-Chain and C-Chain) appears to have been more than an hour ago, coinciding with the alert.
Prior to today, there was a brief outage in March 2023, affecting subnets C-chain and X-Chain.
On Feb. 1, block ingestion on Avalanche was delayed due to an issue with an infrastructure provider, though it did not affect the performance or stability of the Avalanche network or any Subnets, the team said at the time.
Layer 1 blockchain competitor Solana also suffered an outage earlier this month following a series of such incidents during 2022.
The Block has reached out to Avalanche for comment.
