Polygon Ithaca Hard Fork Is Set to Go Live on the Mainnet, Aiming to Fully Ensure the Stability and Reliability of Network Payments
On July 22, the Polygon Foundation announced that the Ithaca hard fork has been successfully deployed on the Amoy testnet, and is scheduled to go live on the mainnet at block height 50,185,000 (expected 22:00 Beijing time on July 29).
The core goal of this upgrade is to significantly enhance the reliability of network payments by automatically activating a failover mechanism when rare block-production stalls occur, ensuring that transaction processing is not interrupted.
To further safeguard overall network stability, the Ithaca hard fork also introduces a brand-new protection mechanism that can effectively intercept anomalous transactions that could potentially slow down the network or make it unstable.
At the same time, the upgrade provides clearer network operation visibility for node operators, enabling them to monitor the status of underlying infrastructure in real time, and ensuring seamless integration and coordinated operation across components.
Given that this upgrade involves changes to the network’s core mechanisms, the Polygon Foundation recommends that all node operators complete the upgrade as soon as possible to ensure full compatibility with the new protocol and to maintain overall network security.
Overall, this upgrade will not only effectively improve the user experience and strengthen developers’ confidence, laying a technical foundation for the long-term healthy development of the Polygon ecosystem, but also help drive Polygon toward a more mature and stable public blockchain.
