What happened
The Osmosis blockchain resumed producing blocks after a halt on 12 November, according to ForkLog. The network stopped at block height 74,955,152, and users faced delays in getting transactions through while it was down.
Osmosis is a proof-of-stake blockchain built with the Cosmos software stack and best known for its decentralized exchange. A halt means validators stop adding new blocks, so transactions wait until production restarts.
Exchanges respond
Two South Korean exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, suspended deposits and withdrawals of OSMO, the network's token, while keeping trading available, ForkLog reported. Coinbase also said it had problems with transfers.
The reports do not say whether the exchange restrictions have been lifted now that blocks are being produced again.
What is still unknown
The cause of the halt has not been established, according to ForkLog. The team has not publicly explained what stopped block production or whether any state was affected beyond the delay.
It is also unclear how long the chain was down and whether a software fix was applied before production resumed. ForkLog's report does not give a timeline for the incident.
