Chain/Network:

• BSC / Mainnet

Expected behaviour

• .result.highestBlock to be greater than .result.currentBlock

Actual behaviour

• .result.highestBlock is way behind .result.currentBlock
• All our erigon3 nodes are stuck at the same .result.highestBlock

Thanks for reporting, I think I might have found where the problem is. I will update you once it's finish. I think result what you are getting right now on highestBlock is actually FrozenBlocks

Thanks for the update and yes, please keep me posted!
Thank you!!

Hey @ryujimin220 for now we will not fix this as Erigon3 is planing to have it in a alpha6 erigontech#11487 and our change right now could only lead to conflicts. I will update this issue once we have alpha6 in our code

[ryujimin220]

Hey @MatusKysel, thanks for the update.
Any idea when alpha6 is going to be released?

[MatusKysel]

@ryujimin220 I think it could be 1-2 weeks, but as soon as fix is available from erigon I will cherry-pick it and let you know

[ryujimin220]

Got it. Thanks @MatusKysel

[MatusKysel]

[ryujimin220]

Awesome!
Thanks for the update @MatusKysel

[ryujimin220]

Hey @MatusKysel ,
Any updates on the new release?

[MatusKysel]

Hey @ryujimin220 alpha6 milestone was closed few hours ago https://github.com/erigontech/erigon/milestone/24 now we are waiting for official release. My estimation are that this week you will have fixed version

[ryujimin220]
