Avalanche, a major blockchain, went offline for 6 hours due to a bug triggered by an inscription mint, a new NFT-like creation method.

The culprit was likely Struct Finance's large inscription mint, causing excessive data exchange among validators and hindering transaction confirmation.

Avalanche developers patched the bug and resumed normal operations, but the incident highlights the potential challenges of handling high-demand inscription mints on blockchains.

Beware of blockchain's bugs!!
