Base Says Sequencer Failure Caused Block Production Halt of 33 Minutes

Base's blockchain just choked on its own infrastructure—again. The Ethereum L2's sequencer failed spectacularly, halting block production for a teeth-gnashing 33 minutes. Traders missed exits, DeFi apps stuttered, and somewhere a VC probably blamed 'early days' while sipping a $20 latte.

When the 'scalability solution' needs its own solution. The network resumed normal operations after the outage, but the incident raises fresh questions about the reliability of L2 sequencers—especially as Base continues absorbing institutional crypto flows. Remember folks: in blockchain, 'decentralized' sometimes just means 'fails differently'.
