Arbitrum

The Arbitrum One Sequencer experienced an outage caused by a high volume of inscriptions and issues with a consensus client and monitoring methods. A development version of the node software was swiftly deployed and normal functionality was regained. Gas fees rose to compensate for a fee deficit, but stabilized after the Arbitrum Foundation allocated funds to send transactions. Inscription volumes returned to normal and the downtime is not expected to recur. A post-mortem will be provided soon.
