Arbitrum (layer-2 on Ethereum) hasn't process a single transaction in more then 2 ho
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I am a big believer in layer-2 roll-ups for Ethereum scalability, so pretty much all my funds are on Arbitrum. I woke up earlier then usual this morning to do some transactions while the gas fees are low, but I couldn't connect my MetaMask wallet to Arbitrum on any DEX or dApp.</p> <p>I went to Arbiscan, and what I saw scared me : <a href="https://arbiscan.io/">the last transaction was processed more then 2 hours ago</a>.</p> <p>There is no announcement on their Twitter or subreddit, so I went to their Discord server. They had this message :</p> <blockquote> <p>Hello - we are aware of some issues with the network. We are investigating and will post an update here once we have one.</p> </blockquote> <p>I am worried, because right now I can't do the transactions I want to do, and that's a weird thing to say in a supposedly permissionless, censorship-resistant environement. There is no explanation whatsoever about what happened ; I guess it has to do with the high volume of transactions during the crash, but I really don't know.</p> <p>I was using Arbitrum because I thought it was reliable and secure. But now my confidence is shaken.</p> <p>Anyone has any idea what could be happening? Does it scare you too?</p> <p>EDIT (3:49 PM EST.) : Looks like the problem was with their sequencer, and it is now back online. Transactions are going through smoothly. Phew, what a ride it has been! Glad we are back in business.</p> <p>EDIT #2 : Here is <a href="https://offchain.medium.com/todays-arbitrum-sequencer-downtime-what-happened-6382a3066fbc">a follow-up</a> the the team just released. They are very transparent about what happened, and that puts my mind at ease. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/busterrulezzz"> /u/busterrulezzz </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/rzqxdx/arbitrum_layer2_on_ethereum_hasnt_process_a/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/rzqxdx/arbitrum_layer2_on_ethereum_hasnt_process_a/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
