Arbitrum Has A Bug Again on January 9, 2022. Is this a big problem?

Arbitrum has been down for the second time in less than five months due to a hardware problem.

Arbitrum is a suite of Ethereum scaling solutions that enable high-throughput, low-cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure. This project has three modes: AnyTrust Channels, AnyTrust Sidechains, and Arbitrum Rollup. 

Transactions could not be completed for seven hours due to a Sequencer failure. Following a hardware failure, the Ethereum layer-two network Arbitrum has had its second outage in less than five months.

They wrote a new post on January 10 detailing the problems that led to the outage.

“The core issue was a hardware failure in our main Sequencer node,” it said. Furthermore, backup Sequencer redundancies that would take control failed due to an ongoing software upgrade.

This was a minor downtime in the considerable scope of things, but the team did caution customers that the network is still in testing. “The Arbitrum network is still in beta, and we will keep this moniker as long as there are points of centralization that still exist in the system”, Offchain Labs said.

This project had a similar Sequencer outage in September when a bug led the system to become stuck after a huge batch of transactions was processed in a short period.
