Coinbase Exchange Claims EOS Suffers From Degraded Performance

Coinbase exchange claims the EOS blockchain suffers from ‘’ degraded performance’’ and a major outage over the past four days according to the publicized status update that we are reading further about in the upcoming coinbase news.

The challenges affected the services of Coinbase in a few ways according to the company itself:

 “The EOS network is currently experiencing degraded performance levels. EOS sends have been temporarily disabled and receives may be delayed. Buys and sells of EOS within Coinbase are functioning normally. We’ll keep you posted as service returns to normal.”

Aside from the Coinbase exchange claims, EOS appears to be functioning normally. The EOS Nation that is at this time one of the top three block producers of EOS has seen a number of temporary issues on the blockchain. It admits that EOS suffered a number of microforks and missed blocks on February the 20^th but at the same time it makes the claim that the EOS mainnet is nonetheless “extremely reliable.”

EOS New York, which is another huge EOS block producer, makes the claim that the network is functional in its entirety and that fault lies entirely on the Coinbase exchange platform. It answered the claims made by Coinbase platform on Reddit today:

 “Untrue. The network is operating fine and Coinbase is shifting blame away from their internal infrastructure problems. No other entity is reporting issues. None of our monitoring shows any issues. They could reach out to any of two dozen knowledgeable block producers for free help but instead, they do this. Exactly what are the problems they see? They provide absolutely no details.”

Coinbase has not responded publicly to block the offers of assistance of the producer. EOS may be operational in a technical manner but the platform is still experiencing certain congestion caused by an ongoing airdrop dubbed EIDOS, explained in its entirety here, by Coinbase. Although it is conceivable that the investigations of Coinbase can reveal another problem entirely, it looks like it is probable that the current issues of Coinbase are in relation to those of EIDOS taken into consideration its concerns in the past.
