""Key findings from the outage include the resilience of major Layer 1 (L1) blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, which maintained 100% uptime despite varying levels of AWS dependency [Decrypt, CryptoSlate, Brave New Coin]. In contrast, Layer 2 (L2) networks such as Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, and Scroll experienced degraded performance, with throughput reductions ranging from -8% to -25% [Decrypt, CryptoSlate]. The outage also caused specific disruptions in the crypto ecosystem, including MetaMask users reporting zero balances due to Infura outages [Decrypt], and Coinbase experiencing login failures and trading halts [Fortune Crypto, CNBC].""
