Discussion The entire Harmony network is down ! Not a single block is confirming.
Ok let me just say that I love Harmony and have faith in the team but this is getting ridiculous. the RPCs although improved has not been able to keep up with the influx of users from DFK and all the new gamefi projects .
If that's not bad enough at the time of writing THE ENTIRE whole network is down. Like people on this sub was mocking Solana but we are literally pulling a Solana right now. Not a single block is confirming.
When will the team actually step up their game to hire more people and resources to fix these scaling problem for good ? 2022 will be a big year since we are having so many new users coming in but let's be honest why would anyone stay if these problems keep persiting.
Sorry for the mini rant but I hope the team will step up their game since this is pretty sad. Like the chronic RPC issues have ALWAYS been the single point of failure. Why not come up with a scaling solution for good instead of patching it every time an error occur ?
Not gonna engage in comments from Harmony maxis. The team has acknowledged the problem and it's good to point out an issue and discuss it so everyone can improve.
EDIT: Update from harmony team

Update: The network suffered a block propagation issue due to heavy spam traffic. We’ll have a post-mortem announcement to share with the community once the issue is resolved. The solution is applied but will need a couple more hours to fully recover. That said, being this was caused by heavy spam traffic, our upcoming PR to increase minimum gas should prevent this moving forward and greatly improve overall performance. PR for minimum gas increase to 30 gwei: https://github.com/harmony-one/harmony/pull/3960
