Degen Chain Faces 42-Hour Outage and 500,000 Block Reorg Due to Configuration Change

The Layer-3 blockchain Degen Chain, built by Syndicate using Arbitrum Orbit and invested in by a16z, experienced a significant outage. The network stopped producing blocks for more than 42 hours following a custom configuration change. This change, implemented by Conduit, also impacted Proof of Play's Apex L3. The outage led to a 500,000 block reorganization. Conduit and Offchain Labs are working with the affected teams to restore normal operations. Degen Chain, which operates on the Base network and uses the Gas token DEGEN, is now back online and resyncing from genesis. A full postmortem analysis is expected soon.
