March was a great month for the Zilliqa network and ecosystem, from major announcements that expand DeFi opportunities to increasing buzz around The Winners Circle.
The technical team was also hard at work last month, working with the relevant teams to restore functionality to ZilBridge and delivering better tools for developers.
"I am inspired to see the growing momentum and enthusiasm within the Zilliqa community as these new projects roll out within the ecosystem," says Zilliqa CEO Matt Dyer. "March was just the beginning of what promises to be a productive journey ahead. Keep a close eye on our progress, as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and pave the way for a more decentralised and interconnected future."

Attention Zilfam!
As a result of unexpected behaviour in Zilliqa's rewards distribution mechanics, the ongoing adjustment to staking rewards has not been reducing inflation by the amount we had predicted.
We have implemented a workaround to correct this issue, which involves setting the staking reward parameter in the contract to the pre-adjustment rate and then manually remitting the difference between the advertised and collected rewards back to the null address.
This will have the effect of reducing inflation as intended while ensuring the rewards received by stakers continue to follow the previously forecasted trend in line with the monthly adjustments.
This change will be implemented with the next planned adjustment to staking rewards, scheduled for May 2, 2024.

Zilfam! π’ Around 03:12 PM UTC, a slowdown in mainnet block generation was detected.
To delve deeper, transaction processing was halted at 04:00 PM UTC, permitting the network to clear the transactions in the mempool and self-recover.
Presently, we await the new epoch to ensure full data synchronization before re-enabling transactions, while monitoring block generation for continued proper functioning.
The team will persist in the investigation to determine the root cause. As always we appreciate your continued support & patience.
Update - We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

Zilliqa network update π’
The Zilliqa infrastructure team continues to work on resolving the ongoing disruption to mainnet block generation.
Preliminary analysis indicates this may be related to an issue within a specific function that returns a null value instead of a node's RLP following a possible invalid database lookup, which results in the function throwing an error.
The team has created internal rehearsal networks to recreate this issue and trial bug fixes, allowing for possible solutions to be tested within an isolated environment before progressing to Testnet and mainnet deployments.
We will provide additional updates and outline further steps for remediation as soon as this information becomes available. We appreciate your patience and support as we actively work to restore network stability.

The Zilliqa mainnet is now back online and full functionality has been restored.
In addition to this fix, we have also rolled out the previously announced Zilliqa v9.3.4 network upgrade, which includes a number of enhancements to EVM compatibility. Node operators should therefore ensure they are using the latest v9.3.4 configuration files to join the upgraded Zilliqa mainnet.

Dear community, We are writing to inform you that we are aware of a further disruption to Block production on Mainnet. The issues that caused the previous network outage were not conclusive and, it is apparent that the logs did not provide the necessary insights to properly address the underlying cause.
Following the previous outage and with enhanced debugging now enabled, we are now better positioned to identify and address the underlying problem.
We are currently working to diagnose the root issue and restore full functionality to the network. We appreciate your patience at this time.
Note - Funds are SAFU. If you can't see funds in your wallet, You can always check it on-chain by going to https://viewblock.io/zilliqa, add your Zil address in search box & hit enter.

The Zilliqa network is back online following temporary disruptions to block production on mainnet. Functionality has now been restored and the network is once again processing transactions normally.
The infrastructure team continues to monitor the stability of the network as it works to diagnose the underlying cause of the recent disruptions. However, we hope the fix we have now deployed averts the risk of further interruptions to mainnet block production going forward.
Thank you for your patience and support during the course of resolving this issue.

The Zilliqa ecosystem saw continued growth and several important moments during April 2024.
We saw a host of updates and announcements from projects building on Zilliqa, and The Winners Circle continued to build its profile and momentum across both the loyalty industry and the sport of horse racing.
The Zilliqa team attended several events, including #ParisBlockchainWeek and #Token2049, and we also engaged the community on staking by outlining how new stakers can benefit by staking ZIL ahead of the shift to Zilliqa 2.0.
"As we have moved into May, we continue to build towards the upcoming overhaul of the network with Zilliqa 2.0 while fostering the lift-off of landmark Web3 projects in our ecosystem," Zilliqa CEO Matt Dyer says.
"As we reflect on the achievements of the past month, I am grateful for the community's continued support and enthusiasm."
