The Base network experienced transaction loss and packing delays on January 31st due to changes in transaction propagation configuration causing a rapid increase in base fees. The official team has rolled back the changes and restored network stability, while also implementing measures to optimize the transaction pipeline and monitoring mechanisms. Improvements are expected to be completed within one month.

Odaily Planet Daily News reports that regarding the transaction loss and block packing delay issues on the Base network on January 31, the official statement indicates that due to changes in transaction propagation configuration, block builders repeatedly fetched transactions. However, because of the rapid increase in base fees, these transactions could not be executed. The team has mitigated the issue by rolling back the changes and has verified that network stability has been restored. Measures are being taken to prevent such problems from happening again and to improve response strategies.

These measures include optimizing the transaction pipeline, removing unnecessary P2P overhead, and adjusting the mempool queue — this work is expected to take about a month. Additionally, improvements are being made to alert and change monitoring mechanisms during infrastructure change deployments.
