Multichain confirmed earlier that most cross-chain routes of the Multichain protocol are functioning normally, but some cross-chain routes are unavailable due to “force majeure” and the time to restore service is unknown. Multiple users reported funds stuck in the bridge for many hours. The team agreed to compensate users for their losses.
