<p>Manta Network, a Layer 2 modular blockchain, faced a technical&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/MantaNetwork/status/1747917726109327663?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">disruption in its Manta Pacific chain due to an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) flood at 9 AM UTC</a>. Although this incident was noteworthy, it did not affect the fundamental functionality of the blockchain.</p>
<p>This aggressive attack caused major disruptions in communication between apps and the blockchain. However, the blockchain is still secure, production is ongoing, and funds are safe.</p>

<p>To counter this, the Manta team is actively putting more measures in place to tackle DDoS attacks and collaborating with partners to handle this prolonged and intensified assault.</p>
<p>The community, expecting a day of celebration, is now facing issues like slow or limited access to Manta’s apps, including <a href="https://cryptoticker.io/en/manta-network-airdrop/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">New Paradigm and Into the Blue</a>. The team appreciates the community’s support during this tough time, recognizing the mixed feelings among users.</p>
<p>The attack happened right when there was excitement about the <a href="https://cryptoticker.io/en/into-the-blue-manta-airdrop-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MANTA token airdrop on January 18, 2024</a>. Despite setbacks, Manta Network has achieved significant milestones, like listing its MANTA token on Binance Launchpool, making it the 44th project on the platform.</p>
<h2 id="h-what-is-rpc-attack">What is RPC attack?</h2>
<p>An RPC (Remote Procedure Call) flood is a network attack where an excessive number of RPC requests are directed towards a server or network. This flood of requests can overpower the system, causing delays in response times or rendering the service inaccessible for genuine users. In the case of a blockchain network such as Manta Network, an RPC flood can strain the network’s resources, affecting its capacity to efficiently process transactions or blocks.</p>

<p>At the time of writing as per the latest update, according to Kenny.manta, <a href="https://x.com/superanonymousk/status/1748021290236313929?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Manta Network RPCs are now up and running</a>!</p>
<ul>
 <li>The blockchain is operational and secure.</li>
 <li>Production is back to normal.</li>
 <li>Funds are confirmed safe.</li>
 <li>Communication between apps and the blockchain has been restored.</li>
</ul>
<p>In a statement, Kenny.manta expressed gratitude to the resilient community for their support during this challenging time. Today, anticipated to be a momentous occasion, faced disruption from malicious actors aiming not only at Manta but also at its users and projects he tweeted.</p>
<p>He further elaborated that as network access is reinstated, some apps may experience brief delays in returning to normal functionality. Minor connection issues might occur, so your patience is appreciated. Stay tuned for further updates.&nbsp;</p>
