The Arbitrum blockchain suffered from a bug in its software Wednesday that caused the network to stop processing transactions on-chain for several hours.
There was a bug in Arbitrum’s sequencer, “responsible for taking user transactions, creating a batch of the transaction, and posting it on-chain,” according to the Arbitrum developers’ official Twitter account.
The software bug “created network stress caused by the large backlog of transactions which hadn’t been posted on-chain,” wrote Arbitrum Foundation’s community lead, who goes by the username “eli_defi,” on Discord. “A solution has already been deployed earlier today, and everything has been operating as it should.”

OpenClaw developers targeted in GitHub phishing scam offering fake token airdrops
Security researchers said attackers are impersonating OpenClaw on GitHub, luring developers with bogus CLAW token giveaways that trick users into connecting their crypto wallets.
What to know:
- Attackers are targeting OpenClaw developers on GitHub and luring victims with fake $5,000 CLAW token giveaways that lead to wallet-draining sites.
- The phishing pages closely mimic the real OpenClaw website but add prompts to connect major crypto wallets like MetaMask, WalletConnect and Trust Wallet, enabling malicious transactions once users approve access.
- The campaign builds on a series of crypto-related scams exploiting OpenClaw's name, which previously prompted founder Peter Steinberger to ban all crypto discussion on the project's Discord after a fake token briefly reached a $16 million market cap.
