We have identified the root cause of the API downtime and are currently implementing a fix. API requests are currently returning errors or timing out. Fund Safety: We confirm that no funds are at risk. Existing transactions already processing on-chain will continue to be processed once the API layer is restored. We are working toward a full recovery and will update you shortly.
