ETH News: Starknet goes down for over 4 hours, team is ‘actively investigating’

CoinDesk
Starknet, an Ethereum layer-2 rollup, experienced an outage lasting over four hours while its team actively investigated the cause.

Summary

Starknet, an Ethereum layer-2 rollup, suffered an outage that kept the protocol offline for more than four hours, prompting the team to post on X that they were "actively investigating the issue and working to restore full functionality as quickly as possible." This downtime carries potential knock-on effects for decentralized finance and other on-chain applications, such as stalled swaps and delayed withdrawals. Starknet had not immediately disclosed the root cause, an estimated recovery time, or whether user funds were at risk. Despite the disruption, the price of Starknet's native token, STRK, showed little change, rising only 1.92% over the preceding 24 hours.
