When Blockchains Take a Siesta: Base’s 33-Minute Outage Extravaganza 🎭
The shenanigans began at 6:07 am UTC when the active sequencer started lagging like a tortoise on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Enter Conductor, Base’s trusty-but-flawed system for managing sequencers, which gallantly switched to a backup. Alas, this “unhealthy mainnet sequencer” was still in its pajamas, metaphorically speaking, and utterly incapable of producing blocks. Base Build’s X account later confirmed this unfortunate mix-up, leaving users to twiddle their thumbs while the network sputtered. 😅
