The Ethereum blockchain experienced transaction finality challenges on May 11 and May 12, with the latter lasting for over an hour. The cause of the halts is uncertain, but it is speculated that it may be related to staking clients and MEV glitches. Despite the setbacks, developers reassured that there was no impact on chain activity and that solutions have been implemented to address the issue. The Ethereum Foundation is currently investigating the root cause and expects the optimizations to prevent any future occurrences.
