Starknet Mainnet IS Experiencing Fresh Downtime
Summary
The Starknet mainnet, an Ethereum layer-2 network utilizing zero-knowledge rollups, is currently facing downtime, with engineers actively investigating the issue to restore full functionality. At the time of the report, the outage had lasted over two hours. This incident follows previous reliability concerns in 2025, including a major nine-hour disruption in September linked to the Grinta (v0.14.0) upgrade, which involved halted block production and chain reorganizations due to sequencer bugs and RPC provider failures. Despite the current network disruption, the price of the STRK token remained steady.
