Coinbase’s BASE blockchain stopped working

Coinbase launched BASE blockchain last year. Today, it stopped working all of a sudden. This is a common phenomenon among centralized blockchains whose software are churned out after not-so-extensive testing.

Are you affected by it? Let us know. But, according to BaseScan data, there has been an anomaly in the Base network, and the latest block height remains at 33792704; it has been 19 minutes since the last new block was generated. OKlink also indicates that there is an anomaly in the Coinbase’s Base network.

The status page of the Base public blockchain shows that the issue of abnormal block halts in the Base network has been resolved at 14:44 (UTC+8), and the official team is continuously monitoring the situation. The stars say calm is restored for Base, but keep your eyes open—future ripples may come. If you’re building on Base, double-check your backups this week.

Also, this BASE blockchain anomaly highlights the need for robust infrastructure; for high-stakes traders, chain stability is non-negotiable. ton’s uptime is looking mighty fine right now.

Base L2 users are watching for on-chain activity spikes, but wallets and bridges are basically frozen. If this drags on, expect sentiment to shift fast, especially if DeFi protocols start timing out or pending txs pile up.
