Polygon Publicizes Community Rehashing and Bridge Resync: Report

• Polygon pronounces the zkEVM Mainnet Beta Community Rehashing and the Polygon Bridge resync updates.
• Each the rehashing and the resync will happen on September 18, 2023 (Monday).
• The Rehashing is carried out as a bug was found in an early model of the executor, v.1.1.x.

The blockchain platform Polygon has been creating ripples within the crypto universe with its cutting-edge strikes, over the previous few weeks. Including to the checklist, Polygon has make clear the upcoming community rehashing and layer 2 Bridge resync, through a X (Twitter) thread.

As per the official announcement, the blockchain’s zkEVM Mainnet Beta Community Rehashing and the Polygon Bridge resync are scheduled for September 18, 2023 (Monday). Whereas the occasion would happen at 10.30 am (CST) or 8.30 am (UTC), its approximate period can be 6 hours. Together with the declaration, the platform assured that the rehashing wouldn’t have an effect on the general existence of the ecosystem, asserting, “This doesn’t impression the state of the community or any previous transactions or any L1 info”.

Although the platform had scheduled the community rehashing for September 12 initially, it was postponed, realizing the need of executing a resync within the L2 Bridge. Stating the explanation for the reschedule, Polygon cited, “Together with the mainnet rehashing, it will likely be essential to do a resync of L2 within the Bridge. We need to guarantee minimal downtime for a similar.”

Earlier as we speak, the platform confirmed that the rehashing, together with the resync would happen within the succeeding week. Polygon asserted that the zkEVM Mainnet Beta Community Rehashing is carried out as a bug was found in an early model of the executor, specifically v.1.1.x, which resulted in a “mismatch of L2 block’s hashes”. Whereas elucidating the anticipated aftermath of rehashing, the platform cited,

“What occurs when the rehashing is completed? The community will resync from genesis, and the state of the transactions stays the identical however the L2 block hashes can be modified with the right calculations. This already has been executed on the testnet, all hashes bought corrected and synced.”

In associated information, Polygon Labs formally introduced the implementation of Polygon 2.0, with the revealing of three Polygon Enchancment Proposals (PIPs). The function intends to revolutionize the Ethereum block house.
