On Wednesday, Polygon experienced a blockchain quirk affecting 157 blocks or approximately five minutes worth of network activity.

After blocks appeared to have stopped being produced for several minutes, the Ethereum side-chain’s co-founder Sandeep Nailwal tweeted that (block explorer) Polygonscan was “having some issues.”

In actual fact, the interruption was down to a chain reorganization or ‘reorg’, a problem that Polygon is attempting to fix.
