Abstract generation in progress

Paradex has announced a temporary suspension of all platform services following the discovery of a critical issue during database maintenance operations. The shutdown affects multiple core systems including the trading UI, Cloud and API services, blockchain infrastructure, bridge functionality, block explorer, and RPC proxy endpoints. According to the project’s official status page, the malfunction was identified and requires a comprehensive chain state rollback to restore normal operations.

Chain State Rollback Details and Impact

The platform will execute a gas rollback of chain state to block height 1604710, which represents the last verified state prior to the maintenance procedures that triggered the incident. This specific block was processed at 04:27:54 UTC and serves as the baseline for system recovery. The rollback process will eliminate any corrupted or inconsistent data generated during the failed maintenance window, ensuring the integrity of all subsequent transactions and smart contract states.

Service Recovery and Account Restoration

All user accounts will be reverted to their pre-maintenance status once the chain state rollback is completed. This restoration process ensures that any unconfirmed transactions or balance changes that occurred during the maintenance period will be nullified. The platform has committed to preserving account security and data consistency through this rollback mechanism. Users can expect their holdings and trading history to reflect the state from before the incident occurred.

Ongoing Investigation and Next Steps

Paradex’s development team is actively investigating the root causes of the database maintenance issue that necessitated this emergency chain state rollback. The incident remains under active remediation, with engineers working to identify exactly what triggered the malfunction. Once the investigation concludes and the gas rollback completes successfully, the platform anticipates restoring all services and will provide a detailed post-mortem analysis of the incident for community transparency.
