Ethereum layer-2 network Base recovered after being down for more than two hours because of a block production issue. The disruption came ahead of a planned upgrade.
Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network, meaning it is part of the broader ecosystem of scaling networks built around Ethereum. Such networks are used to handle activity beyond Ethereum’s base layer, so reliability remains a key concern for participants watching the sector.
Ethereum layer-2 network Base recovered after an issue with block production left the network down for more than two hours. The Coinbase-backed network encountered the disruption ahead of a planned upgrade, according to the source material.
The incident matters because block production is central to how a blockchain network processes activity. When production is interrupted, the network’s normal operation can be disrupted for users and applications relying on it.

The source material does not specify the technical cause of the block production issue or provide additional details about the planned upgrade. It also does not state any market impact tied to the outage.
With the network recovered, the episode adds another operational data point for Base as it continues to develop within Ethereum’s layer-2 landscape.
