This temporary halt trails a five-day crisis that Multichain users endured, severely affecting transaction processing and resulting in numerous stalled transactions.
Several of Multichain’s cross-chain bridge routes, encompassing Kava (CRYPTO: KAVA), zkSync, and Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC) zkEVM, are yet to be restored.
Initially, the Multichain project attributed the disruption to technical complications.
Nevertheless, as users’ frustration amplified, the issue’s cause was revised to a vague “force majeure.”
