Base said internal nodes were resyncing after the outage halted transaction processing on one of Ethereum's largest layer-2 networks.
- Yesterday, the Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base resumed block production after a disruption of roughly two hours that halted the blockchain.

- Base has resumed working and internal nodes are syncing correctly, though the team has not disclosed whether the incident stemmed from a software bug or consensus-related fault.
- The network will continue monitoring stability as the investigation proceeds, following a previous outage in August 2025 that prompted heightened scrutiny.
