Overview
- Developers paused sequencing to verify chain safety after detecting a mismatch between block execution and the proving system tied to specific transactions.
- Engineers reverted the chain to block 5,187,263 and resumed block production, ending an outage reported to have lasted more than four hours.
- The team cautioned that transactions submitted between 9:24 and 9:42 UTC may not have been processed correctly.
- No user funds were reported at risk during the halt, and the STRK token price showed little immediate movement.
- The disruption revived reliability concerns following the September 2025 Grinta-related outage as Starknet expands into Bitcoin staking and broader BTCFi efforts.
