Just hours after Base's debut, the network was already experiencing problems, and users flooded social media to complain about the network's functionality.

"Base's bridge is off to a rough start. Every single transaction reverting and the bridge contract is unverified so nobody can figure out what's going on," Twitter user @0xfoobar wrote alongside a screenshot of a transaction list from Etherscan, in which transactions appear to have been reverted.

The testnet's operational glitches were caused by an issue with Coinbase's wallets, which incorrectly estimated the amount of gas, or fees, required to execute users' transactions, according to Coinbase.

As a result, users paid less gas than needed to execute their transactions, which prompted Base to revert those transactions instead of processing them.
