According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Polygon Foundation and X platform issued a statement saying, "This afternoon, the Polygon PoS network experienced a failure, affecting some RPC nodes. However, the network remained online throughout the entire failure period, block generation was uninterrupted, and there was no blockchain outage."

During the outage, a large number of RPC nodes remained fully operational, and transactions could flow in and be processed normally.

There may still be a delay in the data display on the block explorer until the nodes have completed synchronization.
