Polygon Foundation Says Ithaca Hard Fork Will Go Live on Mainnet at Block 50,185,000

Polygon Foundation said on X that the Ithaca hard fork has been successfully deployed on the Amoy testnet and is scheduled to go live on Polygon mainnet at block height 50,185,000, expected at 22:00 UTC+8 on July 29. According to Odaily, the upgrade is intended to improve payment reliability, add automatic failover when block producers rarely stall, block transactions that could slow or destabilize the network, and give node operators clearer visibility. All node operators are asked to upgrade as soon as possible to ensure compatibility and network security.
