Polygon Foundation said in a post on X that the Ithaca hard fork has been successfully deployed on the Amoy testnet and is scheduled to go live on the Polygon mainnet at block height 50,185,000, which it said is expected at 22:00 Beijing time on July 29. The upgrade is focused on payment reliability and includes automatic failover in the rare event of a block producer stall so transactions can continue to move through the network. It also adds new protections designed to block transactions that could slow the network or affect stability. Polygon said the upgrade will give node operators clearer visibility into system operations to help keep the underlying infrastructure running smoothly. The foundation urged all node operators to upgrade as soon as possible to maintain compatibility and network security.

According to the foundation, the upgrade is aimed at improving payment reliability. In rare cases where a block producer stalls, an automatic failover mechanism is designed to keep transactions moving. The upgrade also introduces new safeguards to block transactions that could make the network slower or less stable.
