Base Blockchain by Coinbase Restarts After Two-Hour Interruptions

Base Blockchain Returns to Operation Following Disruption

Coinbase's Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network, has resumed operations after a two-hour outage that temporarily halted transaction processing and block production.

The interruption was caused by an invalid block, prompting the team to investigate the root cause. They have advised node operators to restart their nodes to restore synchronization within the network.

The issues were first reported at 16:03 UTC, with the team acknowledging that the mainnet block production status was "unhealthy." By 16:52 UTC, the team identified the problem and began implementing fixes.

This incident marks another setback for Base, which had previously experienced an outage in August 2025. The team is committed to monitoring the network's stability and will provide further updates as their investigation unfolds.
