Woofun AI reports that the Polygon Foundation has confirmed the successful deployment of the Ithaca hard fork on the Amoy testnet. The upgrade is scheduled for the Polygon mainnet at 22:00 on July 29, aligning with the release of block number 50,185,000.

The update aims to strengthen payment reliability through an automatic failover mechanism that maintains transaction processing during minor block producer delays. Additional security protocols will block transactions capable of disrupting network stability, while node operators will receive enhanced visibility for underlying operations. All node operators are urged to upgrade promptly to ensure compatibility and security.
