Robinhood Chain appears to have experienced a network outage on Sept. 4, with the blockchain temporarily stopping the production of new blocks and leaving transactions unrecorded.
The network went 13 minutes without recording a new transaction, according to data from the Blockscout explorer.
The incident comes as Robinhood Chain is gaining attention as Robinhood expands its on-chain financial infrastructure.
Recent usage data shows that Robinhood Chain saw a dramatic increase in activity shortly after its July 1 mainnet launch. Blockscout reported that the network grew from roughly 22,000 daily transactions during its first week of data to about 8.5 million daily transactions by mid-July, a 38,350% increase.
At the time of reporting, the specific cause of the interruption had not been disclosed. Robinhood's main status page showed no officially reported incident for Sept. 4.
Block production resumes
Update: (21:08 (UTC+8)): Block production has intermittently resumed, with the latest block displayed on the explorer timestamped at 21:06.
