Liquid produces blocks again, but without transactions for now; peg operations remain suspended

As of September 10, 10:00 UTC, the Liquid network has moved to the next stage of its controlled restart. For now, blocks are being produced without transactions to check stability. Blockstream confirms that updates to functionaries and bridge nodes have been deployed, and functionaries are signing blocks normally. Peg operations, including PAK-authorized peg-outs, remain suspended: the BTC/LBTC reserve is still being restored.
