The Ontology team announced via X on Monday that it has paused its mainnet after identifying a potential security concern requiring immediate investigation.
As a precautionary measure, block production has been temporarily suspended while Ontology’s technical team and validators conduct a comprehensive security review.
The team added that this temporary suspension is a preventive security measure, rather than a response to confirmed asset loss or an ongoing attack.
Ontology emphasized that no confirmed security incident has been identified at this time.
There is currently no indication of any loss or compromise of user assets and ONT, ONG, and other on-chain assets remain unaffected.
