Ontology Halts Mainnet Block Production Amid Potential Security Concern

Ontology has temporarily halted mainnet block production due to a potential security concern identified by its core developers. The team conducted a routine security check and discovered an issue that requires immediate investigation.

No confirmed security incident or user asset loss has been identified, with ONT, ONG, and other on-chain assets remaining unaffected. The network advised users to avoid time-sensitive transactions as block production remains suspended.

The Ontology team is working closely with validators and ecosystem partners to review the mainnet and related components. A separate announcement will be released before or when block production resumes, after the security assessment and any required upgrades have been completed.
