Update timeline

  1. investigating Mar 24, 2026, 12:00 PM UTC

    Base Mainnet is currently not producing flashblocks. Normal block production is unaffected. We're actively working to restore flashblock production.

  2. identified Mar 24, 2026, 01:55 PM UTC

    We've identified an issue in our public RPC nodes that caused certain endpoints to not reflect latest flashblock data. Users may have also experienced increased error rates for read endpoints on https://mainnet.base.org/. We're working on implementing a fix.
