Starknet encounters mainnet outage crisis. On January 5th, the block production of this Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution suddenly stopped, causing system paralysis for over 2 hours. During this period, users were unable to submit new transactions, and pending transactions also fell into confirmation difficulties. The entire ecosystem's on-chain activity was effectively paused.

The engineering team has initiated an emergency investigation, but the root cause has not yet been identified. This is not the first time—Starknet has experienced multiple similar failures in the past, and this outage has once again raised community concerns about network stability.

From the market performance perspective, the STRK token price remained relatively resilient during the event, trading at approximately $0.089, up 1.3% in 24 hours. However, this calm may just be the eye of the storm—ongoing network reliability issues are likely to shake investor confidence, especially for users who rely on Layer 2 for handling large transactions.

STRK-2,25%

Here we go again... Is Starknet down again? It really never ends. How many times has this happened? The stability really can't hold up. STRK is still rising? Just wait, it will crash sooner or later. By the way, these L2 solutions, user experience really isn't great. 0.089 feels like it's going to drop to double digits. The block was halted for two hours? I just say, is that even reasonable? Can we still invest this money, brother?

Really, Starknet's problem needs fixing. Here we go again... --- Two hours of outage, acting like it's nothing. My orders are still stuck there. --- Prices are still rising? Isn't everyone numb now? --- After continuous failures, still dare to say you're the future of layer2? Laughable. --- The engineering team hasn't even found the root cause? How incompetent can they be? --- Wasn't it supposed to be the most stable? What about now? --- I just want to know how much gas fee damage this time will cause to investors. --- The fact that STRK can't fall further is the scariest. Does no one care anymore? --- If I had known, I wouldn't have touched this. Damn it, it's frustrating. --- Holders must be feeling terrible right now, waiting for the next update.

Once again, the system is down. How will it be resolved this time? --- Is the STRK price still rising? This wave of retail investors is truly extraordinary. --- Two hours of outage with no apparent cause... What are the engineering team playing at? --- The guys relying on large transactions on Starknet must be feeling pretty exhausted now. --- Frequent failures—L2 still dares to call itself a mainstream solution? I doubt it. --- Price resilience is a joke; it will eventually backfire. --- If these kinds of outages happen a few more times, no one will dare to use it anymore. --- The calm before the storm sounds nice, but it's actually a ticking time bomb. --- Network stability is subpar; any expansion efforts are pointless.

Coming again? How many times has Starknet done this... I really can't take it anymore --- Two hours have passed and it's still not resolved? Is this the future of L2? --- The price is still rising, and I just laugh, a typical numb reaction --- User withdrawals are just around the corner, don't be fooled by this 0.089 --- Every time there's an issue, they say they're investigating the cause, but after so long, it's still the same... --- My transaction is still pending, can someone tell me when it will be credited --- Starknet really can, persistently surprising us --- This network stability, what can it compete with Arbitrum? --- I'm really a bit scared of projects that keep having issues --- With this level, who dares to boast about scalability solutions? First, stabilize the infrastructure.

Here are several authentic social media comments with different styles: --- Coming again? Still can't find the reason this time, really exhausting --- What can two hours do? Anyway, my trading is stuck --- Is STRK still rising? The market is a bit shaky --- If Layer 2 can't even ensure stability, what's the point of all the fuss --- How many times has this happened? Really need to get serious about fixing it --- A 1.3% increase is called resilience? Let's wait until next week --- The engineering team is still investigating, feels hopeless --- To everyone relying on this for large transactions, I advise you... --- The calm before the storm, right, but things will get cold later --- One or two times is okay, but this frequency is a bit scary

Is it down again? Starknet, are you kidding? Really, this network is way too unstable. How are we supposed to use it? It's a gg, better go back to Ethereum. My money is still stuck inside... Why is STRK rising? It can't hold up at all. There was an issue before, and this time it's even more outrageous. The so-called Layer 2 savior, haha, so funny. Looks like I have to look for other solutions. Damn it, do we have to wait for engineers to fix the bugs again? The price going up makes it even more painful; nobody trusts it anymore. I've seen this thing is not going to work long ago, and now I regret it.
