Investigating

Some transactions on Base are experiencing delays due to a full mempool and low-fee evictions. This is a network-wide issue affecting transactions with nonces far apart, where later transactions may be dropped if earlier ones remain underpriced.

The Base team is actively monitoring and increasing the mempool size to mitigate the issue. The network remains operational and transactions will continue processing as the mempool clears.
