According to BlockBeats, Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet has released an analysis report regarding the brief mainnet outage that occurred on January 11. The report identifies the cause of the incident as a state inconsistency between the execution layer (blockifier) and the proof layer. This inconsistency arose from a specific combination of cross-function calls and rollbacks, leading the execution layer to incorrectly record a rolled-back state, resulting in transaction execution errors. The affected transactions did not receive L1 finality confirmation.
The incident triggered a block reorganization, causing approximately 18 minutes of on-chain activity to be rolled back. This marks the second major disruption since 2025, with a previous outage in September caused by a sequencer vulnerability that led to over five hours of downtime and a rollback of about one hour of on-chain activity.#Starknet #Ethereum #Layer2 #MainnetOutage #StateInconsistency #ExecutionLayer #ProofLayer #CrossFunctionCalls #Rollbacks #TransactionErrors #L1Finality #BlockReorganization #OnChainActivity #Downtime #Blockchain #Crypto #STRK
🚀 DeFi Sector Faces Security Challenges Amid Recent Hacks

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has been hit by a series of security breaches, including a $5 million exploit targeting Makina on the Ethereum network and a $7 million attack on Saga's stablecoin. According to NS3.AI, these incidents have raised concerns about the security of DeFi platforms. The recent Fusaka upgrade has led to a surge in Ethereum transaction volume, but this increase has also highlighted vulnerabilities within the network.
Governance issues have emerged within the World Liberty Financial protocol, with allegations of insider manipulation affecting its operations. Additionally, a rollback in the Paradex layer-2 protocol has caused distortions in bitcoin pricing, further complicating the situation for DeFi participants. These developments underscore the need for enhanced security measures and governance frameworks to protect users and maintain stability in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.#DeFi #security #Ethereum #Makina #Saga #stablecoin #Fusaka #NS3AI #Paradex #bitcoin #governance #insidermanipulation #rollbacks #cryptosecurity #ETH #BTC
