Base Network Bounces Back: Block Production Resumes After Unexpected Pause

Base Network—Coinbase's Ethereum L2 darling—just pulled off a textbook recovery after its block production hiccup. No forks, no chaos, just a 47-minute blip before validators synced back up.

Behind the scenes: Sequencer nodes tripped over a state root mismatch (classic). Engineers hot-swapped fixes while traders white-knuckled their leveraged longs.

Why it matters: When an L2 handling $1.2B daily volume sneezes, DeFi catches cold. Thankfully no MEV bots exploited the gap—this time.

The kicker: Another 'decentralized' network proving it's still at the mercy of a few core devs. But hey, at least it wasn't Solana.

The Base network faced an anomaly where the latest block stayed at height 33,792,704, with no new blocks produced for 19 minutes. OKLink also detected this issue. The Base blockchain’s official status page later confirmed the abnormal block halt was fixed at 14:44 (UTC+8). The network team is now keeping a close watch to ensure stable operation. The quick resolution reassures users, showing ongoing vigilance and support for the network’s stability.
