On the 30th of December, 2021, at 10:19 ET, a chain halt was reported. It turned out to be a fork.
Following the release of the updated Mainnet, consensus of witnesses fell below the required 66.6% threshold due to some nodes not updating in a timely fashion. Since the blockchain requires the nodes running to be similar in code, the discrepancies resulted in a fork.
There are no known bugs, however.
The mainnet has been restarted and witnesses are now re-syncing with everything operational.
On behalf of the witnesses, thank you for your patience and support.
