One of the most prominent Layer2 solutions, Arbitrum, recently had a token airdrop and was listed on Binance. However, a surprise glitch occurred in the network, causing a short-term halt. This sudden pause has made investors wonder what caused it and how it might affect the price and future of the network.

Arbitrum, one of the most actively used Ethereum Layer2 solutions, has enabled thousands of dollars to be earned by the Ethereum community through its airdrop. Offering lower transaction fees and faster transactions, Layer2 solutions like <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/arbitrum-arb-records-8-4-increase-bulls-eye-1-30-resistance-level/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Arbitrum</a> execute a lot of transactions off the main network and then process them onto the main network. This allows for a more cost-efficient and rapid recording of transactions on the main network. 
Arbitrum, in effect, operates as a side road to Ethereum, with a broader capacity and higher speed limit. Additionally, vehicles (transactions) on this road consume less gas. At regular intervals, these vehicles switch from the side road to the main road, i.e., Ethereum, before returning back to the side road. 
The recent issue caused transactions to be unable to be sent to the main network. An error in Arbitrum&#8217;s sequencer code led to a brief pause in its ability to send batch transactions to the Ethereum <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain.</a> As we&#8217;ve noted before, Layer2 solutions like Arbitrum help alleviate the load on the main blockchain by batching transactions and sending them to Ethereum in a single transaction. This is done using a system called a sequencer. 
According to Arbitrum developers, a mistake in the sequencer&#8217;s code prevented batch transactions from being transferred to Ethereum. This caused a brief interruption during which transactions were not confirmed on the main chain. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify;" id="why-did-arbitrum-halt">Why Did Arbitrum Halt?</h2>
The official Arbitrum developers made a statement on their Twitter account, saying, &#8220;When trying to send a batch transaction on the Sequencer chain, an error occurred, and the transaction was reverted.&#8221; During this event, there was some confusion regarding the ETH levels in the sequencer&#8217;s wallet. When the system operates as designed, the amount of the transaction fee spent is refunded to the wallet.

However, because transactions were not confirmed on Ethereum, the second wallet set to automatically issue refunds did not do so. This worked as intended and did not cause the interruption. After the error was corrected, the second wallet continued to refund the sequencer&#8217;s wallet, and operations resumed as normal. 
Tansel Kaya, a well-known figure in the Turkish crypto community, commented on this issue, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s like a joke. Arbitrum, which holds $2.4 billion in assets, has paused for an hour. Why? The Sequencer wallet was emptied due to an error. According to the Arbitrum team, the Sequencer wallet has a balance of around 5 ETH. There&#8217;s also a wallet with 250 ETH to fill it up. As the Sequencer completes successful transactions, the wallet is filled. The Sequencer transaction failed, so the wallet was not refilled.&#8221; 
As long as such errors are corrected quickly, they do not have negative effects on the token price. However, a recurrence of similar problems in the short term (recalling the Solana outages) could negatively affect the price.
