Why Did Coinbase’s Base Experience 45-Minute Block Production Halt? ⏸️
Coinbase's Ethereum #layer-2 network, Base, experienced a 43-minute #outage on September 5th, marking its first major disruption since its August 9th launch.
Block production halted abruptly at 9:36 pm UTC but later resumed. The outage was attributed to internal infrastructure issues, promptly addressed by Coinbase's developers.
#Base continues to monitor for any further issues. Matt Willemsen from Collective Shift noted that Ethereum's layer-2 networks are not as battle-tested as the mainnet, highlighting the challenges of maintaining and improving such blockchain infrastructure.
