PANews reported on December 9 that the public chain Zilliqa reported at around 1 a.m. today that the network encountered technical problems that led to the interruption of block production, but the funds are safe. All partners are strongly advised to temporarily suspend any deposits or withdrawals on the network while this problem is resolved.

Later, at 05:53, Zilliqa reported: "The team attempted to initiate a quick restart to minimize the time required to restore the network. Unfortunately, this approach was not successful and a full reinitialization of the network is now underway. We will keep you informed of progress. Preliminary investigations indicate that the issue is similar to previous outages. This particular issue will not occur in the brand new network we are preparing to launch in the near future." As of now, Zilliqa officials have not released any other new progress.
