Fact Check
The evidence overwhelmingly and consistently supports the statement that Starknet experienced a network outage on January 5. Multiple high-authority sources from both crypto-focused and mainstream financial news outlets confirm a significant network outage where block production was halted. Crucially, several sources with perfect relevance (Cryptotimes, Bitget) explicitly state that the outage occurred on January 5. This specific date is further corroborated by headlines mentioned in three other tangential but relevant sources. The most authoritative reports confirm the outage happened, and the more specific reports pin it to the exact date in the claim. The single piece of conflicting information, a source mentioning the year 2025, is identified as an outlier with low relevance to the specific date in question and does not undermine the consensus formed by the other eight sources. The consistency across multiple independent and credible reports provides a high degree of confidence in the statement's truthfulness.
Summary

Starknet's network is fully operational after a brief disruption on January 5, from 17:24 to 17:42 Beijing time, during which some transactions were improperly processed. The team is preparing a postmortem report detailing the issue's root cause and prevention measures.
