Starknet, one of the key Ethereum scaling solutions, has been experiencing a technical outage for over two hours. Due to the disruption, the network is temporarily offline, preventing users from performing transfers, interacting with smart contracts, or using dApps. The outage has also caused short-term interruptions for DeFi and Web3 projects operating on Starknet.
Official Statement from the Starknet Team
The Starknet team confirmed that the issue stems from a temporary technical fault. Their official statement reads:
“Starknet is currently experiencing a temporary disruption. Our team is actively investigating the issue and working to restore full functionality as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.”
This reassures the community that the network is not fully down and that technical teams are working on a solution. However, the prolonged outage has created cautious waiting among users and projects, who are closely monitoring updates for when the network will return to full capacity.
Why Starknet Matters
Starknet is a leading Layer-2 solution on Ethereum aimed at reducing transaction costs and improving scalability. Using ZK-rollup technology, it provides fast and low-cost transactions, especially for DeFi, NFT, and Web3 projects. The outage has therefore created temporary uncertainty for both users and developers within the Starknet ecosystem.
Experts recommend avoiding transactions on Starknet until the network is fully restored and following only official announcements from the Starknet team. After normal operations resume, users should check pending transactions and wallet balances to ensure everything is correct.
Current Status
No precise timeline has been provided for when Starknet will return to full operation. The team is actively working to resolve the issue and will provide updates through official channels. While this outage may not create immediate market volatility, it highlights the importance of infrastructure resilience for Layer-2 networks. All eyes are now on the Starknet team for further updates.
