    Identified

    Our team has identified the cause of the safe head halt on Goerli. It is caused by the creation of GORS Inscriptions on Goerli, see https://dune.com/goerlis/goerlis for their progress. This results in very high basefees of 2k - 6k GWei. At the current rate, we expect the creation of GORS to be finished in about 3h.

    At this time, applications using the safe head will continue to experience a head halt until the fees cool down.

    In the meantime, the team is evaluating the fee caps on our end.

    We’ll continue to share updates as we have them.
