An Injective community administrator said the network’s block pause is a planned mainnet upgrade test, with normal operation expected to resume as soon as the team finishes the process. The exercise is being coordinated with validators.

The test is intended to rehearse emergency upgrade procedures ahead of a larger network upgrade expected in the coming weeks. Injective is using the drill to practice the steps validators and the team would take during an urgent network upgrade. The current exercise is testing readiness for that planned work.

The exercise is part of Injective’s new network readiness program. The administrator said the program is intended to strengthen coordination between validators and ecosystem partners after the launch of Injective Institutional Rail.

The team is continuing the test and aims to resume network operations as soon as possible. The administrator gave no specific restart time. Block production is the immediate operational milestone; the larger network upgrade is expected in the coming weeks.
