The Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer-2 Blockchain base stopped on Tuesday 33 minutes after switching to a backup sequencer that was not properly set to process transactions.
The incident began at 6:07 am UTC, when the active sequencer began to lag in the production of the block, which invites the wire system – the sequencers’ availability and reliability bases – to switch sequencers.
However, he switched to “unhealthy sequencer mainnet” that was still set up and therefore was not able to produce blocks, account base build x said in the post on Tuesday.
The creator of the basic creator Jesse Pollak said The basic team immediately responded to this problem, while the net was fully renewed by 6:40 UTC. A little more time to secure and Chain reorganization It wasn’t necessary, the base said in his post-Mort.
The base is still highly centralized
The incident reveals the base of the base Centralized sequencers to handle transactions on a scale. While more sequencers are running, they rely solely on the wire management capabilities – they create a single point of failure that can stop the entire network.
Team behind the base that currently ensures More than $ 4.1 billion of the total value locked, said it would update its infrastructure to ensure that all sequences in cluster could process responsibility for building block.
Only base Another main network outage There were 5 September 2023 – shortly after its public launch – where the block production was stopped for 43 minutes.
Responsibility has captured the leader of the base
Base Head of Engineering that passes “Aflock” on X, said This base takes time of the chain time very seriously and at the same time adds that it cannot “power the global economy without a solid network of network”.
“The proud team for a quick response here and we liked to find several ways to solidify our systems in the future.”
The base of the base network seems to be
Some crypto scientists considered the outage of the base as a bull, including former engineer Coinbase and founder of finance, 0xrooter, which He said: “People only make a stir of downtime for chains with real users.”
“Bull downtime,” added the pseudonymous developer.

Despite the security challenges, Solana and the base remain among the most widely used blockchains for retail users and boast the first and fourth most active addresses to 2.83 million and 1.09 million, defillama data show.
