Lessons learned from Base’s recent block building outage

Base is committed to building in the open, including public retrospectives to share learnings when issues arise.

On 09/21/2024 at 15:14 UTC, Base Mainnet experienced a 17 minute block building outage. The integrity of the chain was not affected, all funds on Base were safe, and block production resumed after we mitigated the incident. This retrospective dives into the root cause, the impact, how we mitigated, and what we plan to improve moving forward.

The root cause of the block building outage was a misconfiguration on our sequencer cluster. When the current block producer became unhealthy, it was unable to successfully start block building on another instance. The incident was mitigated by manually starting block production on a correctly configured instance.

Learned a very little bit about /alloy and Rust today by creating a list of Uniswap V2 & V3 memecoins to filter swap events for.

Man, I thought so! I was learning a bit about alloy and Rust by watching DEGEN swaps and other transfers and then suddenly all the transfer logs stopped coming in, I checked Basescan and there was no blocks being produced. Wild!
