On August 5, Base, Coinbase’s



$1.58B

Layer-2 blockchain, stopped producing blocks for 33 minutes
due to a problem that occurred during a routine switch to a backup system.

At 6:07 AM UTC, the main sequencer began falling behind in its task of processing transactions. Base uses a system called Conductor to manage which sequencer is active.

When the main one slowed down, Conductor automatically redirected traffic to another sequencer. However, the new sequencer was not ready, it had not been fully prepared to handle live transactions.

Therefore, the network could not process any new blocks until the issue was fixed. By 6:40 AM UTC, block production was running normally again, according to Jesse Pollak, creator of Base.

Following the incident, the team took extra time to confirm that the chain did not need to be reorganized.

This short outage explained that Base relies on centralized control to keep things running. Although several sequencers exist, they all depend on Conductor to decide which one should be in charge. If Conductor makes the wrong call or selects a sequencer that is not ready, the entire network can stop.

Base currently holds over $4.1 billion in total value. The team plans to make changes so that every sequencer in the group is always ready to take over, not just some of them.

Coinbase recently announced plans to raise $2 million through a private sale of convertible notes. What is the purpose of the funding? Read the full story.

At Kraken, transparency is not a slogan. That’s standard. Our latest news Preliminary Proof (POR) AuditIt was completed at that point June 30, 2025Again, make sure that the client assets held on the platform are backed up to 1:1 or later. This process includes the main crypto assets BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDT, XRP, ADA.

The June 2025 report shows

Our POR Audit captures a complete snapshot of client assets across all services, not just spot balance. Included Margin accounts, futures holdings, and betting assetsIt provides a full spectrum view of customer exposure.

Reserve ratios as of June 30, 2025

A simple review – What is a proof of preparation?

Proof of reserves is a encryption process that allows the client to independently and personally verify that the assets are contained in a third-party audited snapshot of the platform’s liability.

Use a Markle Tree Combine individual balances into a single cryptographic hash. Client receives a Personalized Markle Proofcan be used to confirm inclusion without revealing personal details. An independent auditor then checks Kraken’s Onchain Holdings exceeds the total client balance – Effectively test your complete preparation without assumptions.

Why is Kraken’s POR going even further?

Nowadays, more exchanges offer some form of “pole” offering, but not all of them offer the same level of rigor or transparency. This is what sets us apart:

1. Consider not only assets but also liabilities

Some platforms show what they have, but skip what they owe. Included Client’s Total Debt With all audits. Below that is not complete evidence of reserves.

2. User-Level Verification

All clients can Check your own inclusion Use the open source Merkle Verification Tool. This is not just about trust, it is about verification.

3. Ten Year Consistency

First I developed POR 2014 – And we haven’t stopped. Kraken will implement for Regular and orderlyit’s not just the news cycle.

POR is essential. It’s not about promises. That’s about evidence – Visible, encryption, and proof of third-party verification. Kraken’s process is built to withstand scrutiny and provide information to users.

What’s next – Enlarge scope

We are committed to publishing Pors quarterin addition to our financial disclosures, we also ensure that users have a normal window in our platform solvency. We are also actively working to expand and include our pole coverage. More supported assetsgives us a broader view of the reserves throughout our ecosystem.

From the beginning, Kraken was a supporter. Accountability, Independence, Cryptographic Primary Values. I believe transparency should be an industry norm, not an afterthought. So we keep raising the bar.
