The Base network has resumed operations after being down for approximately two hours early this morning, with the team currently investigating the cause of the outage.

Coinbase-backed Ethereum Layer 2 network Base has resumed block production and transaction processing after an approximately two-hour outage early this morning. The Base team stated that the network is now back to normal operation, with internal node synchronization functioning properly, though the root cause of the outage remains under investigation. The team also advised ecosystem node operators to restart their Base nodes to restore synchronization. The outage was first detected at 00:03 this morning, when Base flagged the mainnet’s block status as “unhealthy”; at 00:52, the team confirmed the issue had been identified and deployed multiple repair measures. The incident caused a temporary halt in transaction processing on this major Ethereum Layer 2 network. As of press time, Base has not disclosed the specific cause of the abnormal block production, nor has it clarified whether the incident stemmed from a software vulnerability or consensus mechanism-related issues. Notably, Base previously experienced a network outage in August 2025.
