Summary
Show
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base resumed operations after a roughly two-hour outage that halted block production and transaction processing.
The team said an invalid block triggered an issue, and it continues to investigate the root cause while advising node operators to restart their nodes.
The incident marks another disruption for Base following a previous outage in August 2025.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base resumed block production Thursday after a disruption of roughly two hours that halted the blockchain.
In an update, the Base team
said the chain has resumed working
and internal nodes were syncing correctly, though it continues to investigate the root cause of the incident. The team also advised ecosystem node operators to restart their Base nodes to restore synchronization.
The first public
indication of problems came
at 16:03 UTC, when Base reported that mainnet block production was "unhealthy." By 16:52 UTC, the team said it had identified a problem and was pursuing multiple remediation efforts.
The incident temporarily halted transaction processing on one of Ethereum's largest layer-2 networks. Base has not yet disclosed what caused the invalid block or whether the issue stemmed from a software bug or another consensus-related fault.
The network also previously
suffered an outage in August 2025
.
The team said it will continue to monitor network stability and provide further updates as its investigation continues.
