On Tuesday, the network halted for almost three hours when its sequencer malfunctioned, preventing transactions from being processed. Developers later explained that the system failed to interpret parts of its Cairo0 code, forcing a chain reorganization. All transactions during the downtime were effectively erased, requiring users to resubmit them.

Second Disruption in Weeks

This wasn’t an isolated incident. In mid-July, Starknet also suffered an outage — though that one lasted only 13 minutes. Two failures in such a short span have amplified investor concerns, especially given Starknet’s size: it’s currently the seventh-largest Ethereum L2 with over half a billion dollars in total value locked, according to L2Beat.

By early morning UTC, block production was back online and most RPC providers had resumed normal operations. The Starknet team has promised a detailed report on what went wrong and how it will prevent similar breakdowns in the future.

Starknet promotes itself as a next-generation L2 using STARK proofs to deliver fast, low-cost transactions. Yet with back-to-back outages, the project now faces the challenge of proving that its technology can handle real-world reliability demands at scale.
