Unpacking the Solana crash
The two primary reasons behind today’s bearish price action revolve around the blockchain’s outage that happened yesterday and the plummeting demand for Solana-based non-fungible tokens (НФТ).
Yesterday, the blockchain battled through an outage for more than four and a half hours, according to Солана статус. It was the first outage in the past month, with the previous outage occurring on May 1, 2022.
The blockchain has struggled to provide 100% uptime (a measure of availability) over the past 3 months.
