Base Restores Network Stability After Configuration Change Triggered Transaction Delays
Coinbase-backed Layer-2 network fixed a misconfigured transaction propagation change and plans month-long pipeline and infrastructure upgrades to prevent future delays.
Base restored overall network stability after intermittent transaction inclusion delays and elevated transaction drops that affected users at the end of January; the team traced the disruption to a configuration change in transaction propagation [1][4].
Engineers implemented a fix and reported the issue resolved, and Base said it will roll out month-long infrastructure and pipeline upgrades aimed at preventing similar transaction delays and improving reliability [2][4].
Industry reporting noted the incident caused temporary congestion and drops, and some outlets described the remediation as helping Base preserve its position among Layer-2 networks while longer-term fixes are deployed [3][1].
Base says stability has been restored and is implementing a month-long upgrade program to reduce the risk of future transaction delays [2].
