š£ Weekly Mainnet Update: Enhanced Security Through Updated Quantum Portal Finalization Process š„
š We're back with another Weekly Mainnet Update! Our development team has been hard at work to ensure a safer, more secure network for all users, and we have some exciting news to share with you.
š”ļø Improved Security Measures in Quantum Portal Finalization Process
We successfully updated the Quantum Portal finalization process. The revised system now has enhanced measures to ensure that only valid blocks are processed. Specifically, finalizers will now validate the authenticity of each mined block.
š« Blocking Invalid Blocks
If a mined block is found to be invalid, it will be automatically rejected. All transactions within that block will fail, and all values will be refunded to the respective beneficiaries.
š On-Chain Fraud Proof Process
What's more, the rejected block will serve as evidence in an on-chain fraud proof process, which will be used to penalize the malicious miner responsible for the invalid block. This is done on the contract level and nodes will be updated this week.
