Base block production resumed as of 16:11 UTC, following an alert to another mainnet chain stall at 15:33 UTC.A similar issue occurred on Thursday, which stalled the network for about two hours, ahead of the planned Beryl upgrade.

Base pushed its Beryl mainnet upgrade to June 26 at 18:00 UTC after determining its B20 Activation Registry needed additional time to become fully operational.Developers cannot deploy tokens on Base’s new native B20 standard until the Activation Registry comes online — a step that can take up to one hour after the hard fork activates.

Base postponed its Beryl mainnet upgrade to June 26 after delaying activation by one day to complete B20 Activation Registry initialization.Beryl introduces the native B20 token standard, cuts the standard Base to Ethereum withdrawal period from seven days to five days, and integrates Reth V2.Base said the recent two hour network outage was caused by a separate consensus issue and was unrelated to the Beryl upgrade.

Base’s second network upgrade, Beryl, introduces B20, a native token standard built directly into the chain’s node software rather than as a smart contract, and lands on mainnet June 25.The upgrade also cuts Base’s standard withdrawal delay to Ethereum from seven to five days, building on withdrawal improvements introduced with the Azul upgrade in May.
