They don’t claim to be decentralized. They’re the only validator lol

these outages show how weak some companies, blockchains and institutions really are

technically you can force your transactions by yourself using L1 even if the network is down, that’s the power of L2

Maybe some idiots now understand why decentralization matters….

amazon web service?

This issue was addressed a few years before already in accordance of other chains, that it is not decentralization to rely on the infrastructure of AWS, Azure or Google.
Real decentralization means that the nodes are running on different geographic locations, e.g. in the basement of many participants.
There are many non sexy projects with way better decentralized node infrastructure.

No shit, many L2s are not decentralised at all. They opt for speed and capacity over decentralisation and inherit security by checking in with the L1 every x time.

That’s why they’re called CEX

I wonder how much of crypto runs on AWS. It’s seriously one of the easiest ways to run node, especially if you get slashed for downtime

Who thought base was ever decentralized to begin with…
Coinbase even knows it’s centralized, you’d have to be a new to crypto or just naive to think that
colonisedlifeworld on
It’s called CEX for a reason

Is it truly possible to achieve decentralisation without some degree of centralisation?

Of course the Layer 2 launched by freaking Coinbase isn’t decentralised ..

lets see which other “decentralised” chain goes down with AWS

Good god the lack of knowledge in some of these comments.
Not ideal to be so reliant on AWS but Jesus people take 2 mins to educate yourself on what Base actually is.

ICP is not down….Imagine not investing in ICP. ICP is the future.
