IoTeX Resumes Layer-1 Network Operations After Upgrade and Malicious Address Filtering

Multiple high-authority and directly relevant primary sources consistently report that IoTeX restored its Layer-1 blockchain network following a halt due to a security incident, after implementing an upgrade to version 2.3.4 (often reported as 3.4 in some communications). This upgrade included a default blacklist functionality or automatic malicious address filtering, specifically targeting malicious EOA addresses. Both the official IoTeX-affiliated social media channels and co-founder communications confirm the upgrade details and the fact that it was tied to improving network security. Independent crypto media coverage aligns with these official statements, also noting the time correlation between network restoration and the newly implemented filtering measure. No credible contradictory evidence was found in the dataset. The combination of consistency across official, high-authority, and third-party news sources makes the statement highly likely to be true.
