Ontology Suspends Mainnet Operations Over Security Concerns

The suspension functions as a preemptive safeguard rather than a response to an active exploit or theft. With transaction processing disabled, the network's core team is prioritizing a comprehensive audit over a rapid recovery. Consequently, no timeline for the resumption of services has been provided, as the chain will remain frozen until the infrastructure is deemed secure by the development team.

Users have been advised to refrain from attempting time-sensitive on-chain transactions, as any submissions currently sent to the network will fail to process. Despite the operational freeze, the team confirmed that the ONT and ONG tokens remain unaffected. The investigation is currently focused on identifying the specific component that triggered the alert, with the developers promising to issue a formal update once the assessment is complete and any necessary software patches are deployed.
