Coinbase-made Base briefly breaks, affecting apps like friend.tech
Base , the Ethereum- Base d layer-2 created by Coinbase , had serious issues with transaction sending yesterday, affecting popular applications like Friend.tech . Coinbase’s status page noted the outage at 15:07 PDT on Tuesday. “Send / receive is currently delayed,” the log read. “Teams are working on a fix ASAP.” The issue was resolved at 17:56 PDT. The Base status page described the problem as a “stall in production of blocks.” Friend.tech, a controversial BitClout-like platform that allows user to buy ‘shares’ in X users (formerly Twitter), is Base’s most popular application. During the downtime, it assured users on X that while trading wasn’t possible, funds were safe and that messaging and search were functioning “as normal.” Base is experiencing a service interruption. All funds are safe but users are unable to submit txns. The Base team is investigating and providing updates at https://t.co/qWzK...
