Their official statement reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This reassures the community that the network is not fully down and that technical teams are working on a solution.

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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_Status\"><\/span>Current Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2958\" data-end=\"3273\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
