The Layer 2 network identified a sequencing error that froze block production and disrupted transactions for over an hour.
Base Network suffered a mainnet stall after a consensus issue caused an invalid block to be sequenced at block 47,806,542. The error prevented new blocks from being produced, halting deposits, withdrawals, and client software operations.
Internal sequencer and node recovery began shortly after the incident, though block propagation remained disrupted. The team continues investigating the root cause while working to restore full functionality. No prior outages of this scale have been reported on Base this year.
Markets dependent on Base for transactions experienced delays, though no immediate price impact on associated tokens was observed.
