Starknet, a layer-2 solution for Ethereum, experienced a block reorganization on April 4th, causing a backlog of transactions. While their status page didn't reflect an outage, Starkscan, a block monitoring tool, showed a gap in block creation during that time.

Starknet later explained a rounding error bug led to the reorganization. Although block production continued, the backlog prevented them from processing transactions for a short period, even causing some to be reversed.

This incident follows recent outages on Solana, another major blockchain network, highlighting challenges with stability in the blockchain ecosystem.

Beware of blockchain bugs!!
