Aptos<\/a> suffered an outage last night from around 7 pm ET and lasted more than five hours yesterday while hosting a mass drawing application to celebrate its one-year anniversary.<\/p>\n

Data from Aptos block explorer Aptos showed<\/a> that on-chain transactions stopped for about five hours on October 18.<\/p>\n

The blockchain explorer AptoScan shows a difference of 5 hours and 6 minutes between two consecutive<\/a> blocks<\/a>. Normally, blocks on the network confirm in less than a second.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The blockchain explorer also shows a spike in Aptos\u2019s transaction fee from around 0.2 APT worth around $1 to 1.72 APT worth $8.58 when the shutdown happened.<\/p>\n

Launched last October<\/a>, the Move-based layer-1 platform originated as a spin-off from Meta\u2019s (formerly Facebook) crypto project Libra.<\/p>\n

To celebrate its birthday, the Aptos Foundation created a community drawing platform Graffio.art<\/a> where Aptos wallet users can contribute to a blank canvas to create the community art.<\/p>\n

According to its co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs Mohammad Sheikh, 4,000 users<\/a> were painting on the online canvas before the shutdown occurred.<\/p>\n

However, shortly after Sheikh\u2019s tweet, the Aptos mainnet went down.<\/p>\n

The Aptos team notified<\/a> via Twitter that transactions on the network have been impacted as they worked to resolve the issue. They were able to revive the blockchain in five hours.<\/p>\n

Decrypt has reached out to Aptos to learn about the root cause and mitigation steps taken by the team to avoid future occurrences.<\/p>\n

Coingecko\u2019s data shows that the value of APTOS<\/a>, the native gas-paying token for the blockchain, dropped slightly at 2.2% after the temporary shutdown. But quickly returned to the $5 level.<\/p>\n

The token is trading 35.8% lower since its launch last year.<\/p>\n
