Finality Delay
criticalJun 23, 2026 · resolved Jan 12
**Summary** On Jan 12th, 2026, the Polygon PoS Mainnet experienced a delay in block finalization starting at approximately 16.00 **UTC**, caused by repeated proposal rejections at the consensus layer. The incident was triggered by a deterministic mismatch between `PrepareProposal` and `ProcessProposal` logic in Heimdall, leading validators to reject otherwise valid block proposals due to an account sequence inconsistency. Finalization resumed after the offending logic was removed and validators converged on a consistent proposal execution path. **Impact** • No new blocks in bor chain were finalised during the incident window. • User transactions were delayed **What happened** • A block proposer constructed a proposal containing a valid transaction from an account that had previously submitted an invalid transaction. • The invalid transaction was **skipped during** `PrepareProposal` and never included in the proposal, due to a bug. • The subsequent valid transaction \(from the same sender\) was included, but had a **higher account sequence number**. • During `ProcessProposal`, validators attempted to execute the included transaction in isolation, without having applied the skipped transaction. • This caused an **account sequence mismatch**, leading validators to deterministically reject the proposal. • Repeated proposal rejections prevented consensus from progressing, resulting in a heimdall consensus error. **Root cause** **Execution of message handlers during** `ProcessProposal` introduced an invalid assumption about account sequence progression. Specifically: • In Cosmos SDK, each transaction from an account must have a **contiguous sequence number**. • `PrepareProposal` is allowed to **skip invalid transactions** when constructing a proposal. • `ProcessProposal`, however, must not assume that skipped transactions were executed. • A recently introduced call to `execMsgHandler` in `ProcessProposal` attempted to execute message handlers against a cached state context. • When multiple transactions from the same sender were involved: • If an earlier transaction \(sequence `x`\) was skipped in `PrepareProposal`, • and a later transaction \(sequence `x+1`\) was included, • `ProcessProposal` would reject the proposal due to a sequence mismatch. This violated the fundamental Cosmos SDK invariant that **state transitions \(including sequence increments\) must only occur during block execution**, not proposal validation. The issue was fully deterministic and reproducible under these conditions. This was not caught earlier because: • The logic was introduced as part of **security hardening**, to perform additional validation during `ProcessProposal`. • The failure mode only manifests when: • Multiple transactions from the **same sender** are present in the mempool, and • An earlier transaction is invalid but a later one is valid. • This edge case was not covered by existing proposal-level tests. **Resolution and recovery** • All validators were called to rollback to the previous working version of heimdall, where the offending logic \(`execMsgHandler`\) was **removed from** `ProcessProposal`. • Once validators processed proposals under consistent logic, consensus resumed and blocks finalization in bor recovered automatically.
