StarkNet Outage Extends for Hours, Cause Still Unknown

The Layer-2 network StarkNet has been offline for more than two hours, with the root cause of the disruption still unclear.

The official team confirmed the downtime in a post on X, assuring users that efforts are underway to restore functionality as quickly as possible.

What raised eyebrows in the community was not just the outage itself, but the muted reaction. The official post gathered only around 13,000 views in two hours — far lower than expected for a project of this scale – fueling speculation that community interest may be fading.

Layer-2 networks like StarkNet are critical for Ethereum’s scalability, helping reduce transaction fees and speed up processing. Extended downtime could raise concerns among investors and developers, potentially pushing liquidity and attention toward competing L2 solutions.
