LayerZero's Stargate down for 6 hours due to DVN executors malfunction

Key Takeaways

  • Stargate has been offline for over six hours due to a serious service disruption.
  • LayerZero is actively working to resolve the problem.

Stargate, a cross-chain bridge built on LayerZero, has been down for over six hours due to malfunctioning Decentralized Verifier Networks (DVN) executors, which causes delays in transaction processing across multiple blockchains.

Blockchain security firm PeckShield first reported the outage earlier today and advised users to halt cross-chain transfers until further notice.
