Wu Says has learned that developer donnoh posted a statement indicating that, due to vulnerabilities related to recent upgrades, Base’s status update has been disconnected and stalled for more than 30 hours. However, because withdrawing from L2 to the Ethereum mainnet itself requires a 7-day challenge period, most ordinary users—and in some cases, even none of them—noticed this malfunction. Subsequently, the official Base team issued a response on its status page, stating that the proposal was terminated due to issues with the TEE enclave, and that withdrawals on the Base mainnet have therefore been forced to be delayed. The official said that fix work is currently underway, and that other network components have not been directly affected.
