> The network coordinated with most consensus nodes to pause production while investigating a potential threat tied to an ecosystem project.

Ontology temporarily halted block production after receiving an emergency report about a potential security risk involving a project built on its blockchain.

The precautionary pause was coordinated with most of the network’s consensus nodes, which agreed to stop producing blocks while the issue is investigated. The potential vulnerability may threaten assets on the Ontology network.

Ontology said its team is working with the relevant parties and monitoring developments as the investigation continues. The network will resume block production after the review makes sufficient progress and the chain’s safety is confirmed.

The halt affects the network’s operation while the investigation remains ongoing, but no additional details about the ecosystem project or any affected assets were provided.
