Base blockchain experienced two outages between June 25 and 26 due to a sequencer error, lasting 116 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
According to Base’s official statement, the blockchain saw two block production interruptions between June 25 and 26, lasting 116 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. The root cause was a flaw in the sequencer logic—after a transaction execution failure, the log state left behind was not cleared, causing subsequent transactions to miscalculate Gas and generate invalid state transitions, which in turn stopped the L2 chain. In both incidents, on-chain assets remained safe at all times. Base has deployed a fix and plans to strengthen protocol fuzz testing and stress testing to identify malicious transaction paths. The team will also optimize monitoring and introduce recovery mechanisms to improve incident response capability.

MemeCore’s M Token crashes—on June 27, the market value was wiped out
According to CoinDesk, MemeCore ecosystem token M plunged on June 27, with the project’s market cap shrinking by nearly $3 billion in a single day. The project team has not yet issued a public statement about the crash, sparking community outrage. On-chain investigator ZachXBT previously questioned M’s valuation, suggesting it may have been inflated by internal capital flows. Since spot trading is concentrated on a small number of exchanges and some of the market momentum comes from trading volumes on listing platforms and incentive-driven social media promotions, analysts note that tokens with concentrated holdings, limited trading channels, and weak real buyer demand are prone to sharp declines when sell pressure emerges.
