Stable says block production continues as transaction volume jumps more than 700%

The network said it is operating normally after some RPC mempools reached capacity following a surge in activity over the past two days.

Summary

Stable said it is continuing to produce blocks and operating normally even as transaction volume increased by more than 700% over the past two days. The project said the spike in activity caused some RPC mempools (queues for unconfirmed transactions handled by node access servers) to reach capacity, a sign of congestion at the network access layer rather than a halt in block production.

Terms & Concepts
  • RPC mempools: Queues of unconfirmed transactions at node access endpoints.
  • block production: The process of creating and adding new blocks to a network.
