Dash Blockchain resumed block production after hours of downtime

The chief technology officer of Dash Core Group, Samuel Westrich, recently took to Twitter and informed about the release of the Hotfix v19.1.0 update. He informed that the block’s production is resuming across the blockchain, which stopped after the potential failure of the hard fork. With the proposal to upgrade the version, he added over 40% of the network being upgraded and signaled that it was almost done.
Westrich informed about the halt over the blockchain and the production of blocks on Monday, May 22. One of the expected upgrades on the Dash blockchain, the Dash Core v19 hard fork, has encountered some bugs. After the failure, block formation across the blockchain stopped for hours. He assured of the investigation and to update the development over Twitter.
Recent data on the blockchain explorer indicates that block production over the Dash blockchain resumed. However, there is a discrepancy in the data as some other explorers still show that the last block was produced over 24 hours ago. The occurrence indicates a potential hard fork of privacy transactions that blockchain facilitates.
According to the data of blockchain explorer Blockchain, the Dash blockchain stands at the block height of 1,875,156 blocks at the time of writing. The block containing two transactions was produced by ViaBTC on May 23, 2023, at 06:32 UTC. The data shows proper functioning and block formation over blockchain.
The Dash.org blockchain explorer also indicated that the block height was fixed at 1,874,879 blocks, with the last block mined by ViaBTC. However, currently it shows a block height of 1,875,156 blocks.
The data shown on CryptoID Explorer still shows that block production stopped at 1,874,749. The reason for the disparity between the block mined data is still unclear.
Although CTO Westrich informed that the Dash blockchain was working well, the previous v18 update also witnessed hiccups.
Dash announced the v19 update on April 10, 2023. After the update, the privacy coin network was expected to see an improvement in security. It aimed to implement high-performance masternodes, implement BLS v1.0 signatures, and improve wallets. All of these efforts were in the wake of preparations to release the Dash platform to the mainnet.
The last update, v18 on Dash, was implemented in September last year, which was upgraded in January this year. The network encountered a hacking attempt to take several master nodes offline. During the release of the update, the chain had also been stopped for a while.
