Canto, a Cosmos-based Layer-1 blockchain, suffered a major outage after its recent “Callisto” upgrade on Saturday. The upgrade led to the mainnet shutdown at around 18:43 UTC, which impaired the blockchain’s capacity to handle new transactions. 
On Sunday afternoon, the Canto’s X (ex-Twitter) account highlighted the problem as an “issue with consensus.” The team shared that they are planning another update on Monday at 12:00 UTC to address the issue and emphasized that users’ funds are safe.

Canto had previously declared its intention to move to Ethereum as a Layer-2 solution. But it later changed its mind and decided to stay as a Layer-1 blockchain, which was a U-turn. 
Specifically, the trading volume of Canto increased significantly in January 2023. However, it has since fallen to the 78th rank by total value locked (TVL) as per data from <a href="https://defillama.com/chains" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DefiLlama</a>. 
This incident shows the problems associated with large-scale changes and the stability of the blockchain. The users are encouraged to follow Canto’s official channels for any further updates and to confirm the safety of their funds.
