DDoS attacks, insufficient capacity, Axie Infinity struggles with service delays.
On the evening of the 13th, the popular "Play-to-Earn" game Axie Infinity was hit by a DDoS service disruption attack, causing service delays. Despite the announcement that the restoration time would only take 30 minutes and there was no financial loss, the impact of the service delay had not been fully resolved as of the deadline on the 14th, causing inconvenience to many players.
The Marketplace is currently having issues due to a DDOS attack.
That means somebody is spamming the server to try and make it unusable.
ETA for a fix is 30 minutes. Funds are safe as always. Thank you!
