We're aware that base mainnet has peering issues for newly started nodes and are actively working on a fix to address that. For nodes that are struggling to find peers, we recommend adding below cli args to your reth node and restart for now. ``` --trusted-peers enode://674db972a48b9cab934407c9e28c50fb3c95719272d314dd408ef82804796e06e5de6f991db4e9f33b2b0f09f1ddf3d91f59cd6b3f4b183052efc3d88455d5ac@13.221.49.63:30303?discport=30304,enode://174bcf56adbfbd8eb6fa1e680c356a495d4a4dd638ede1187846f748bf85a9a7396feb64bcd8e725509efdf85362928b71ac50ad59fd73f44aad7103c56e94ac@54.161.193.150:30303?discport=30304,enode://0d5988e13d93d7b96f89767d64445d0b03ca1ad1d7e17a19c60e0997a3bb27217d8f0fca3353abb051bf2b10b10be73d4c2250a15cc1f9e3d8dd5b770fadaf38@54.209.136.129:30303?discport=30304,enode://843e9e53a61bee5bf6f7c2739455ed61ef1056172812123a3f7d6f3f10d12f7c0dc8d7a4bda966ddd4a1d1b61d58bff5558f924b3f0ca84e9e8c0e6feb277142@98.80.147.106:30303?discport=30304,enode://3f4dba3d8b19727f942c0dd63b9d5a2c87aa5cf175bd6a86b78d7913950333382f3befc09f7c0e6af36451091f5d031b2d6db2996480b5c261812ddd76708524@3.81.131.168:30303?discport=30304,enode://3081267a138669585724beec40a422f5f2c8e7f050c5845936420e679c48b43e413106c220b6aa8cd9636042962f2b2ab02e3701f6d8d9233075061cafcfe3b6@34.203.10.78:30303?discport=30304 ```

There is no outage. This is preemptive in case node operators encounter peering issues. However, upcoming p2p changes may impact peer discovery for Base nodes. If your node encounters p2p issues, please use the script linked here: https://gist.github.com/meyer9/8f15028681045062d59b7521deb19822#file-add-peers-sh
