The decentralized derivatives exchange protocol, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://t.me/coingape/32528">dYdX</a>, went off the rails with an unexpected stop in its blockchain operations due to a planned upgrade, causing a major disruption to its mainnet services. However, engineers and system developers are now analyzing and remedying the issues. 
This event is the first serious disruption in the operation of the dYdX service following the release of dYdX version 4 and its migration to the Cosmos blockchain as an independent one in October 2023.

The <a href="https://coingape.com/dydx-chain-unveils-incoming-lp-vaults-and-amm-engine/?utm_source=cgtelegram">chain halt</a> was first reported at 6:50 am UTC, shortly after dYdX’s v4.0.0 protocol upgrade was scheduled to be completed. The on-chain data showed a halt in block production, which caused a major operational hiccup. An engineering team from dYdX has been rapidly mobilized to handle the problem, with continuous debugging activities aimed at finding and solving the origin of the outage. 
This event signals the first major outage since the release of dYdX version 4 and its standalone Cosmos blockchain. Everything was working well until the unexpected challenge during the upgrade process appeared. Furthermore, the evolution of the protocol into a solo blockchain was part of a greater effort to provide decentralization and scalability features.

As a response to the chain halt, the <a href="https://coingape.com/decentralized-exchange-dydx-relocates-to-avoid-us-regulators/?utm_source=cgtelegram">dYdX team</a> has made a number of updates, which proves that they are determined to locate and solve the problem. One remarkable activity in the troubleshooting process was scheduling a meeting with network validators at 3:00 PM UTC to consider possible solutions. 
This approach emphasizes the collaborative nature of decentralized networks, where validators are vital to ensure that the blockchain remains operational and functional. The focus has been on keeping the validators unpenalized or “jailed” for not being online during possible restarts, confirming the difficulties that go hand in hand with the administration of decentralized networks. 
Concurrently, the outage has not negatively impacted the market value of the dYdX token, which has experienced an increasing trend over the last 24 hours. Such resistance is likely due to the entire market’s confidence in the protocol’s ability to surmount technical hurdles and the underlying force of the <a href="https://coingape.com/dydx-chain-upgrades-to-support-liquid-staking-protocols/?utm_source=cgtelegram">dYdX ecosystem</a>. 
At press time, the token was exchanging hands at $3.13, a 2.90% surge from the intra-day low. In addition, the market capitalization and 24-hour trading volume surged by 3% and 125%, respectively, to $1,456,319,829 and $6,713,882.&nbsp;
