Update timeline

  1. investigating Jan 31, 2025, 12:22 PM UTC

    We're investigating an issue where eth_sendRawTransaction calls on Base Sepolia (testnet) are resulting in errors for a subset of transactions. We're working to identify the root cause and will provide updates as we learn more. Base mainnet is unaffected.

  2. resolved Jan 31, 2025, 12:31 PM UTC

    Unhealthy reth mempool nodes lead to an increased error rate. We have routed traffic away from these nodes and the issue is now resolved.
