The disruption lasted from 06:15 UTC until 06:44 UTC.
The pause, which occurred at block height 33,792,704, temporarily impacted key network functions, including deposits, withdrawals, and general block production.
However, the issue was resolved swiftly, with normal block production restarting about 30 minutes after the initial halt.
The Base team confirmed the resolution and said they would continue monitoring the network as of press time. The team or its leadership has made no additional public comments regarding the specific cause of the problem.
That disruption lasted over 40 minutes, and the Ethereum layer-2 network attributed the problem to an internal infrastructure refresh, assuring users that no funds were compromised.
The recent disruption occurred as Coinbase and Base continue to advance their development efforts.
The network has seen impressive growth over the past month, particularly following the launch of the Base App. This app has enhanced decentralized social and creator economy features by integrating platforms such as Zora and Farcaster.
Additionally, the app introduced new features such as Base Account and Base Pay, offering simplified identity and payment solutions.
“Base isn’t just trying to change the financial system – it’s trying to change the way we interface with the internet.”
