The flagship project in the ZK track, Starknet, experienced a network outage lasting up to 5 hours. This incident exposed the fragility of the current ecosystem infrastructure — seemingly hot ZK solutions still need more refinement in terms of stability. Interestingly, the market's reaction was quite muted; should we be worried or optimistic? Perhaps it indicates that everyone has become accustomed to technological iterations, or maybe the market has not yet fully recognized the long-term impact of such infrastructure risks. It is worth continuing to observe Starknet's subsequent troubleshooting and improvement plans.

5 hours? Bro, this isn't a small issue. The ZK track looks glamorous, but the foundation is so fragile... --- Really? The market is so calm that I feel a bit anxious. Maybe everyone is numb or unaware of the risks. --- Starknet's crash this time was quite thorough. Don't just troubleshoot; we need to come up with real solutions. --- Is a 5-hour outage acceptable or a breach-level issue? It seems the community's tolerance for infrastructure failures is increasing. --- No matter how hot the ZK concept is, it can't withstand such incidents. Technological iteration is one thing; stability is another. --- Seeing everyone's calm reactions, I am truly impressed. If it were another project, it might have already collapsed. --- Is this still called a hot solution? It looks more like a semi-finished product to me.

5 hours of downtime? This is what they call the next-generation scaling solution haha, feels like ZK still needs a few more years of training --- The market didn't react, which makes me even more anxious. Are people really numb or just indifferent? --- Starknet has been exposed again this time, but the real question is whether it can be fixed afterward... It's a bit hard to see through --- Such fragile infrastructure, what are you still bragging about? The promised production-level readiness? --- 5 hours... If this frequency continues a few more times, the ecosystem might cool down --- Getting used to it is the right attitude. Anyway, every Layer2 has to go through this test

5 hours down and everyone's just... scrolling? nah this reeks of complacency. flagged this pattern before - when foundational layer infrastructure fails, nobody bats an eye until contagion spreads. starknet's stability issues = systemic risk indicator, data doesn't lie. market's sleeping on it but that's exactly when things compound. always DYOR on validator health metrics folks.

5-hour outage? That's nothing compared to what I've seen before... But Starknet really let us down this time. No matter how loud the hype, if the infrastructure isn't solid, it's all for nothing. The market didn't react, and I actually feel a bit indifferent. Everyone's too used to it, right? Anyway, every L2 has to go through its death throes.

5-hour downtime? This is the so-called next-generation scaling solution, haha... Luckily, I didn't put all my funds in.

5 hours of downtime with a calm response— is this market numbness or genuine indifference? Hard to say.

5 hours of downtime is really embarrassing, or is it that the ZK track is so prone to failure? --- By the way, the market reaction is so calm, maybe we should feel sorry for Starknet a bit. --- It's another infrastructure-level issue, and it seems these kinds of incidents are becoming more and more common. --- Can Starknet get through this wave? It seems like the next step depends on how they explain it. --- Market has always seemed to ignore infrastructure risks, but in the long run, it’s indeed a bit dangerous. --- I'm not trying to be negative, I just feel that ZK projects are a bit too rushed. --- 5 hours... recalling the failure records of some major projects before, this isn’t an isolated case. --- Not being surprised might really be a bad sign; I feel a bit numb about it.

5 hours offline? Starknet is showing us live what "ZK doesn't know" really means.

5 hours of downtime, Starknet is really testing our patience... The market's lack of reaction is truly outrageous. If everyone wasn't numb, it would really mean they don't take infrastructure seriously.
