The Layer-2 blockchain halted transactions temporarily before implementing an update to improve withdrawal speeds and token standards.
Base, a Layer-2 blockchain network, returned online after a two-hour outage that occurred just before its scheduled Beryl upgrade. The platform confirmed all funds remained secure but acknowledged the disruption as unacceptable for a 24/7 financial system.
The Beryl update, completed at 8 pm UTC, aimed to reduce withdrawal delays and introduce a new token standard for real-world assets and stablecoins. The incident followed a similar outage on the Sui blockchain in May, which was attributed to a network update with a low probability of causing halts.
No immediate market reaction was reported following the resumption of operations.
