BlockBeats reported on August 6 that Base released a downtime incident report, stating that on August 5 there was a 33-minute interruption in block generation due to switching to a backup sorter that was not properly configured to handle transactions.

At that time, the active sorter began to lag in block generation, prompting Base to switch sorters using the Conductor system to manage sorter availability and reliability. The network has now fully recovered, with a total downtime of 33 minutes.
