The project’s team confirmed the issue on its social media platform, stating that developers are investigating a delay in block production caused by a signer. While updates are expected, the team has yet to provide a resolution timeline.
They stated:
“Core devs are investigating a delay in block production related to a Signer. Standby for more updates.”
This outage occurs less than three months after the Nakamoto upgrade, a significant update designed to improve transaction speeds and enhance security.
The Nakamoto upgrade closely aligns Stacks blocks with Bitcoin’s finality, leveraging the top crypto’s robust hash power to secure transactions. By
