Polygon Labs disclosed that it had repaired a set of security holes in the Polygon PoS network through two hard crosses. The upgrades have been deployed in private prior to the public announcement and are now available on the main network after Amoy testing network is validated.

Austin and Kyotto are in force.

These two upgrades are the Austin hard fork for the Bor client and the Kyotto hard fork for the Heimdall client. Polygon stated that such repairs, which would affect consensus security, would normally advance in a low-key manner and await the safety of the main network before disclosure.

Of these, Austin mainly repaired two denial-of-service routes in the treatment of blocks. One problem relates to the malicious outlet ' s construction of blocks with super-large data fields, which in turn leads to the collapse of reciprocity.

The most serious problem relates to the full-scale certification burden.

Kyotto addresses more issues related to consensus-building. Polygon states that one of the most serious of these loopholes may have forced the attackers to combine a single special deal, forcing the whole certificationer to perform a high-cost co-processing.

Such transactions, which are not inherently costly to construct, can significantly increase the cost of network processing, thereby affecting the operator ' s operating burden and the stability of the network.

The time of disclosure is when the POL migration is completed

Polygon stressed that there was no indication that the loopholes had been used on the main web site and that the repairs were being handled on a proactive basis. Both upgrades are now mandatory updates by the nodal operator and do not need to be migrated or synchronized.

This disclosure occurred after Polygon completed MATIC's migration to POL. The migration is part of the restructuring of its network, and external attention is also being paid to the upgrading of network stability and ecological restoration.

On the market side, this information has not significantly boosted POL prices. According to CoinGecko, a weekly weekly newspaper of $0.09983 fell by 2.3 per cent for 24 hours and by about 6.8 per cent for the past seven days. By year, POL has accumulated a decline of about 60.8 per cent over the past year and its current market value is about $1.07 billion.
