Cronos Network said block production has resumed and the network is back in full operation after an earlier halt linked to the Tectonic protocol exploit. Before the restart, validators took emergency consensus action to protect user funds and rolled the chain state back to before the Tectonic exploit on Aug. 30. According to the official update, block production resumed at 23:49:01 UTC on Aug. 30 from block height 90,896,189. Cronos also said node operators can now restart nodes using Cronos v1.7.8 and the latest mainnet snapshot. The network remains under ongoing monitoring, and some protocols, RPC providers, block explorers, and cross-chain bridges may take longer to recover. The team said it will publish a full post-incident report after confirming network stability.

Cronos Network said block production has resumed and the network is fully operational again.

The chain had previously halted block production after the Tectonic protocol was hit by an exploit. Validators then took emergency consensus measures to protect user funds and rolled the chain state back to before the Tectonic exploit that occurred on Aug. 30.

According to Cronos, block production resumed at 23:49:01 UTC on Aug. 30 from block height 90,896,189. The team also said node operators can now restart their nodes using Cronos v1.7.8 and the latest mainnet snapshot.

The network is still under active monitoring. Cronos said some protocols, RPC providers, block explorers, and cross-chain bridges are expected to need more time to recover. The team added that it will release a full post-incident report once network stability is confirmed.
