Big breath as Beacon Chain stops finalizing... and then recovers

Ethereum’s Beacon Chain witnessed a brief 25-minute period where it stopped finalizing transactions. It has since recovered but the cause of the issue remains unknown to Ethereum core developers.

An unidentified issue on Ethereum’s Beacon Chain led to a halt in transactions for nearly half an hour on May 11.

Around 8:15pm on Thursday May 11, a number of Ethereum core developers announced that the Beacon Chain was having issues with confirming transactions. New blocks were able to be proposed but an unknown issue was preventing them from being finalized. The beacon chain stopped finalizing about thirty minutes ago. I don't know why yet, but in general the chain is designed to be resilient against this, transactions will continue as usual and finalization will kick in when the problem is resolved.
