Summary

According to the Polygon Foundation’s official announcement, the Polygon PoS network has successfully completed a hard fork, upgrading Bor to v2.2.11-beta2 and Heimdall to v0.3.1. Milestone and state synchronization are operating normally, and checkpoint processing with consensus finality has been fully restored. The foundation will continue monitoring the network to ensure stability. This update follows a temporary delay in transaction final confirmations reported the previous evening.

Terms & Concepts
  • Hard Fork: A non-backward-compatible protocol upgrade that requires validators and nodes to update, activating new rules at a specified block or time.
  • Bor: Polygon’s block producer layer responsible for block creation and transaction processing.
  • Heimdall: Polygon’s validator and consensus management layer that coordinates with Bor for checkpointing and finality.
