The second layer (L2) of Ethereum developed by Exchange Coin Base, the base network, experienced today on August 5th First General Detention Event This is the first time since its release in August 2023. The interruption occurred at a height of block 33,792,346 and was extended for approximately 30 minutes.
This ruling was reported by users of Social Network X. Social Network X has noticed that the base network, which handles blocks every two seconds, has stopped producing them.
Block 33,792,346 contains 723 transactions, using 91.23% of that Gas limit (Gas Rimmy) is a similar indicator to the block space of Bitcoin. Measure the maximum amount of computational resources allowed in a block As a base with Ethereum and its L2.
he Gas limit It represents the top of “Gas,” a unit that pays for operations in the Ethereum ecosystem, with 91.23% indicating that there was a block Approximately the maximum capacity before interruption It can be a sign of the crowds that have suffered in the network.
In contrast, previous blocks were used with an average of 200 operations, using nearly 40% Gas limitreflects a lighter load, but after arrest block registers only one operation, suggesting a decline in demand by users after the failure.
According to the Base Status website, block production, withdrawals, deposits and Flash Block (Function to process the functions of this network at high speed).
The block following 33,792,346 registered only one transaction, and after just 44 minutes the behavior of the chain created by Coinbase was normalized at a height of 33,793,679.
A notification was published on the website several minutes after the incident began. “The main base network is currently paralyzed.”
The technical team then presented preliminary reports of the incident, which announced that the arrest was a “unstable header delay.”
This equation refers to a Synchronization delay between components It prevents new blocks from being verified within the main nodes of the network.
In this case, it was confirmed that four of these components fell simultaneously, causing temporal stagnation of the chain.
The basic technical team resolved the issue at 06:44 UTC, and according to the basic scan at 06:51, seven minutes later, normal production of blocks resumed from 33,793,679, which included around 100 operations.
So far, no official statements have been issued for the Coinbase or the Base Developer team, with detailed explanations regarding the technical causes of the suspension or future precautions.
Finally, detention under The application was not available eitheras highlighted by its ecosystem. According to the founder, such a decentralized exchange (DEX) DACKIESWAP and the Decentralized Finance Platform (DEFI) Capminal.
