Update timeline

  1. investigating May 28, 2025, 02:40 PM UTC

    Safe head is currently trailing the unsafe head on Base Mainnet. We're working to optimize batching performance to restore normal progression. For time-sensitive operations, we recommend: * Use higher fees for time-sensitive transactions * Ensure retry logic is in place We’ll continue to post updates as we progress toward a resolution.

  2. identified May 28, 2025, 03:01 PM UTC

    We've identified the cause of the safe head latency as an issue with batching performance. Batches are now posting, and we're working to close the gap between the safe and unsafe heads.

  3. monitoring May 28, 2025, 04:32 PM UTC

    Batching performance has recovered and safe head is advancing normally. We’re continuing to monitor to ensure the delta stays within expected bounds.
