Starknet stutters, turns off and on again twice in one day
Ethereum layer-two network Starknet has experienced two outages in short succession, following its latest “Grinta” upgrade. The transition hasn’t gone smoothly, to put it mildly. Starknet went offline for just over two hours this morning, between 2:23am and 4:36am UTC, before the team announced that the network was “back online and fully operational.” Not two hours later, however, another announcement came that Starknet was “experiencing another downtime.” The team’s latest update states it’s “deploying a fix now” and “expects the network to be operational shortly.” Status update: Starknet is experiencing another downtime. Our engineers are hard at work fixing the issues. More details will be shared when we know more. We understand this situation can be frustrating and thank you for your patience. https://t.co/dU025BVcbq — Starknet (@Starknet) September 2, 2025 Read more: Coinbase Base network halts for 44 minutes due to ‘unsaf...
