Gavin Wood details the cause of Kusama's outage and reveals the progress of the primary network consensus algorithm

After a short period of recovery and frequent updates, Kusama, the boca test network, was once again trapped in the bug of block failure. In the repeated debugging of Babe and Grandpa, the core module development of the main network was becoming stable.

Yesterday, poka founder Gavin Wood detailed the Kusam outage in a post on Medium. Because of the naming confusion, the team mistakenly imported the running environment of the poka primary network under development into the Kusama network. Since the Babe algorithm version in the main network is ahead of the test network, they are inconsistent in many design parameters. So, Kusama made a mistake. After several frequent updates yesterday, the new version of Kusama has addressed more issues.

Based on Gavin Wood's information and a recent explanation of the consensus algorithms of Babe and Grandpa in an article on boca's website, BlockBeats has learned that the development of boca's main network is somewhat ahead of Kusama, the testing network. As the Substrate is now approaching perfection, the maturity of the consensus core module means the proximity of the poka main network.
