Node Peering Stability on Base Testnet and Mainnet

Incident Report for Base

Resolved

The discv5 protocol ID migration has been completed. It can be difficult to find a peer that isn't full on peers already. We are working with the Reth team to continue improving the ability to find peers.

Monitoring

There is no outage. This is preemptive in case node operators encounter peering issues.

However, upcoming p2p changes may impact peer discovery for Base nodes. If your node encounters p2p issues, please use the script linked here:
