<p>Popular layer-2 (L2) blockchain <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/?s=zkSync" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">zkSync Era</a> fixed a network glitch, one that disabled block production for close to five hours, as per an <a href="https://x.com/zkSyncDevs/status/1739231136780263916?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">admission </a>by the network developers on social platform X.</p>
<h4>Another glitch on zkSync Era</h4>
<p>The team stated that one of the network’s automated safety protocols was impacted by a bug in the server. However, the same was fully resolved.</p>
<p>zkSync Era assured its users that a post-mortem report detailing the cause of the outage would be provided soon.</p>
<p>Examining the blockchain’s <a href="https://uptime.com/statuspage/era?start=20221231&amp;end=20231225" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">status page</a>, AMBCrypto noticed an “operational” label against the zkSync Era mainnet. About half-an-hour before this writing, the status was “major outage.”</p>

<p>AMBCrypto found that as per zkSync Era’s block explorer, the last transaction was processed on the 25th of December at 10:53 UTC.

<p>The incident marked the second disruption in operations for zkSync Era in eight days. Block production was last <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/zksync-era-of-halted-production-and-its-aftermath/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">halted</a> on the 16th of December.</p>
<h4>zkSync Era puts up a decent performance since launch</h4>
<p>Launched <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/zksync-era-goes-live-to-become-worlds-first-zkevm-mainnet-users-await-airdrop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">earlier</a> in the year, zkSync Era was the first Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) to launch on mainnet.</p>
<p>Since then, it has steadily risen through the ranks, surpassing competitors like <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/search/starknet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Starknet</a> and <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/search/zkevm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Polygon zkEVM</a>.</p>
<p>According to AMBCrypto’s analysis of L2Beat data, zkSync Era had the fourth-highest total value locked (TVL) of any Ethereum scaling solution, at around $573 million, at press time.</p>
<p>This equated to a little more than a 3% share of the total funds deposited on L2 networks.</p>

<p>Moreover, the blockchain maintained a decent transaction throughput of 10 transactions per second (TPS) all this while. In fact, it was the fastest Ethereum L2 in the past 24 hours, with a TPS of 14.26.</p>
