Ontology suspended mainnet block production on August 31 at 09:09 UTC to investigate a potential security concern identified during a daily security check. A public node showed no new blocks for approximately five hours and six minutes, with the last recorded block at height 20,770,893 timestamped at 08:24:26 UTC. The project reported no confirmed exploit or asset loss, stating that ONT and ONG crypto assets along with other on-chain assets remained unaffected. The suspension’s duration remains undetermined with no public restart timetable disclosed, and the network will not process on-chain transactions until block production resumes.
