Charles d'Haussy shared Marius Smith's thread on Canton's consensus swap. Digital Asset froze mainnet topology for 24 hours with no new parties or validators allowed and halted transactions at the 13:00 UTC cutover. BitGo kept a maintenance ticket open 25 hours and blocked wallet setups. A devnet bug delayed the upgrade from August 8 to October 10. Ethereum has produced blocks every 12 seconds since July 2015 without any window.
