Major exchanges FTX, Bitfinex, and OKX were among the popular web services that were knocked out on Tuesday.

The CEO of OKX asked for a web3 alternative after the company's website was hit by a service issue.

FTX went into the "post-only" trading mode when it became unavailable during the downtime.

The websites of block explorer and Bitfinex are down. Within two hours, many services were back online.

There will be more to come.
