Polygon zkEVM 故障已解决，ZK Tech 的复杂性已被标记

Polygon zkEVM 开发人员已经解决了导致周末中断持续十多个小时的问题。此次故障最初归因于将第 2 层链的交易捆绑到以太坊主网的软件，但 Polygon Labs 的一位高管表示，ZK 技术的复杂性也可能是造成这种情况的原因。此后该网络已恢复正常运行，预计下周初将发布有关中断原因的完整报告。

Developers of the Polygon zkEVM have fully resolved the technical issue that caused a prolonged outage of the Layer 2 scaling solution over the weekend.

Polygon zkEVM 的开发人员已完全解决了周末导致第 2 层扩展解决方案长时间中断的技术问题。

Emergency Fix Deployed

已部署紧急修复

According to Polygon Labs, the issue was resolved following an intervention by the network's Emergency Council, a select group of trusted network participants responsible for overseeing upgrades and addressing critical incidents. The council authorized developers to deploy an emergency fix that restored normal network operations.

据 Polygon Labs 称，该问题在网络紧急委员会的干预下得到解决，紧急委员会是一组经过挑选的值得信赖的网络参与者，负责监督升级和解决关键事件。该委员会授权开发人员部署紧急修复程序，以恢复正常的网络运行。

Root Cause Analysis Pending

根本原因分析待定

Developers have indicated that a full report on the root cause of the outage will be released early next week. Initial investigations pointed to a synchronization issue between the network's sequencer, responsible for ordering transactions, and the Ethereum mainnet.

开发商表示，有关停电根本原因的完整报告将于下周初发布。初步调查指出，负责排序交易的网络排序器与以太坊主网之间存在同步问题。

ZK Technology Complexity

ZK技术复杂性

While users await the detailed report, Polygon Labs Vice President of Product David Silverman acknowledged the inherent challenges associated with Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology, the foundation of the zkEVM.

当用户等待详细报告时，Polygon Labs 产品副总裁 David Silverman 承认与零知识 (ZK) 技术（zkEVM 的基础）相关的固有挑战。

"ZK is hard," Silverman tweeted. "It is still inevitable, but we had a tough weekend. We are tremendously proud of the team for getting the network back up."

“ZK 很难，”西尔弗曼在推特上写道。 “这仍然是不可避免的，但我们度过了一个艰难的周末。我们为团队恢复网络感到非常自豪。”

ZK-rollups offer enhanced security and faster settlement compared to Optimistic rollups, but the technology is still in its early stages of development. It faces significant hurdles, including the computationally intensive process of generating cryptographic proofs and Ethereum's non-ZK-friendly design.

与 Optimistic rollups 相比，ZK-rollups 提供了增强的安全性和更快的结算速度，但该技术仍处于早期开发阶段。它面临着重大障碍，包括生成加密证明的计算密集型过程以及以太坊的非 ZK 友好设计。

Innovation and Collaboration

创新与协作

Polygon Labs and other industry leaders, such as StarkWare, continue to drive innovation in the ZK space. Recently, they collaborated to develop Circle STARKs, a more efficient proving system.

Polygon Labs 和 StarkWare 等其他行业领导者继续推动 ZK 领域的创新。最近，他们合作开发了 Circle STARKs，这是一种更高效的证明系统。

Industry Context

行业背景

Network outages have become increasingly common in the cryptocurrency industry, including in the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem. In December 2023, Arbitrum, the largest Ethereum Layer 2 network by total value locked (TVL), experienced a five-hour outage due to a surge in user activity. Similarly, zkSync Era, the largest ZK-rollup by TVL, faced a four-hour outage in the same month.

网络中断在加密货币行业中变得越来越常见，包括在以太坊第 2 层生态系统中。 2023 年 12 月，按总锁定价值 (TVL) 计算最大的以太坊第 2 层网络 Arbitrum 由于用户活动激增而经历了 5 小时的中断。同样，TVL 最大的 ZK-rollup zkSync Era 在同月也面临四个小时的宕机。

Beta Status and Impact

测试版状态和影响

It is important to note that Polygon zkEVM is still in beta, allowing developers to conduct extensive testing and resolve potential issues. The outage did not affect Polygon PoS or any other chains powered by the Polygon SDK.

值得注意的是，Polygon zkEVM 仍处于测试阶段，允许开发人员进行广泛的测试并解决潜在问题。此次中断并未影响 Polygon PoS 或由 Polygon SDK 提供支持的任何其他链。

Implications

影响

The Polygon zkEVM outage underscores the ongoing evolution and maturation of technology in the Ethereum Layer 2 space. It highlights the challenges associated with scaling Ethereum and the need for continued innovation and collaboration to improve network reliability and performance.

Polygon zkEVM 中断凸显了以太坊第 2 层领域技术的持续发展和成熟。它强调了与扩展以太坊相关的挑战以及持续创新和协作以提高网络可靠性和性能的需要。
