Odaily Planet Daily News: The Polygon Foundation posted on X platform, stating that the Ithaca hard fork has been successfully deployed on the Amoy testnet and will go live on the Polygon mainnet at block height 50,185,000, expected to be at 22:00 Beijing time on July 29. This upgrade aims to enhance payment reliability by automatically failing over when block producers experience rare stalls to ensure smooth transactions. It also adds a protection mechanism to intercept transactions that could slow down or destabilize the network, while providing node operators with clearer visibility to ensure smooth underlying operations. All node operators should upgrade as soon as possible to ensure compatibility and network security.
