Wu learned that Base released a post-mortem report on two mainnet outage incidents on June 25 and 26, stating that both events were caused by the same Sequencer block construction logic vulnerability, which resulted in blocks containing invalid state transitions, leading to network outages of approximately 116 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively.
