While discussing with the Chinese community, Vitalik Buterin denied the Ethereum network fork. He claimed that the network is working fine.
Addressing the reason behind the service outage experienced by Infura, the top developer said there might be a problem with an old version of Geth, which caused some services that have not updated Geth for a long time to run into problems today.
According to previous reports, the interruption experienced by Infura affected the API service of Ethereum, and several trading platforms and wallets were affected, including the leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
As related by Infura, the capacity of the affected components has been expanded and is in the process of system recovery.
