On 3rd july  2018 around 00:46am GMT, the Steem blockchain was frozen. The last witness to witness a block was @someguy123 , block number 23847548. Our friend and fellow witness @quochuy wrote a nice post about what happened.

And [here](https://steempeak.com/steem/@steemitblog/steem-blockchain-patch-issued) is the official post from Steemit also.

The Steemit team was quick enough to roll a fix for this and every witness is required to upgrade from v0.19.3 to v0.19.5. Yensesa is happy to announce that our upgrade has been completed and we have witnessed a few blocks since then.
