MultiversX is back online. Thank you for your patience and belief through these hard days. To our validators and partners: thank you for the work that brought us here. We’re proud to be here with you. We continue to build different. Together.

Update: Mainnet will remain paused overnight as we prepare the next recovery window. Today’s restart did not complete because the allotted window was too short for enough Shard 1 validators to synchronize and transition into the new epoch alongside the rest of the network. An epoch change occurred during the attempt, so we are updating and testing the recovery software to account for that transition. We aim to make the updated release available tomorrow afternoon UTC, Thursday, September 24, followed by a longer activation window, tentatively 8–12 hours. This will give validators more time to upgrade and synchronize, with the next restart attempt expected within that window. These timings remain tentative, subject to successful testing and validator readiness. We will communicate confirmed timing and issue a separate all-clear once recovery is complete. Please continue to wait for the all-clear: do not submit or rebroadcast transactions, or use EGLD and ESDT deposit and withdrawal routes through exchanges or bridges. We know the continued wait is difficult for everyone affected. Thank you for your patience and support, and to our validators and partners for their sustained commitment throughout the recovery. We are working together to bring the network back online safely.
