Linea recovers from sequencer issue after deploying swift network fix

Ethereum layer-2 network Linea has restored its mainnet sequencer after a temporary performance degradation, the team said Wednesday.

According to Linea’s status page, the issue was detected at around 5:52 am UTC. Engineers identified the root cause and deployed a fix less than an hour later, by 6:15 am UTC.

The disruption affected Linea’s mainnet sequencer, which is responsible for ordering and batching transactions on the network. While the nature of the performance issues was not detailed, Linea confirmed on their status page that the problem was identified by 6:15 am UTC and was given a fix almost immediately. 

By 6:32 am UTC, the Linea team said it had transitioned into a monitoring phase to ensure stability and evaluate the results. “A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results,” the team said. 

Cointelegraph reached out to Linea for more information, but did not receive a response by publication. 

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
