Not long ago, the crypto exchange Coinbase launched its Layer 2 for Ethereum, called Base.
Yesterday, problems were reported with block validation, which temporarily stopped.

In reality, as later reported, it was a ‘delay’ in block production, due in part to the need for an internal infrastructure upgrade.
Earlier today we had a delay in block production due in part to our internal infrastructure requiring a refresh.
The issue has been identified and remediated. No funds are at risk.

The problem was resolved and the upgrade carried out.
It is not uncommon for similar technologies to require some intervention in the first period after launch to resolve a problem, and in this case the intervention was quite rapid and resolved.
