The market had steadied somewhat after the unlock, but node operators such as the Night Watchman were checking another problem. Since an upgrade the previous week, the on-chain assertions that Sentry challenges depended on had not appeared at their familiar pace, making rewards hard to anticipate.
XAI stood at USD 0.37. Throughout the day, the officials confirmed that a node upgrade the previous week had disrupted assertion publication and delayed at least 12 assertions. Since morning, people in the group had been saying, “No pool has produced rewards for six hours,” and asking for at least a statement. The Night Watchman focused the question on the timing between assertions and challenges while waiting for the officials to explain the scope of the impact.
Node operators finally had a concrete issue to ask about, but no restoration time. Nor could they explain the missing rewards as an ordinary price move. The group's demand shifted from guessing at a cause to pressing for an explanation. The Night Watchman planned to keep noting when challenges appeared so he could check the eventual response.
