солана network is back online after experiencing another outage that had it offline for six hours during the early hours of October 1.
солана статус revealed that the network was not processing transactions, adding that “developers across the ecosystem are working on diagnosing the issue and restart the network.”
This marks the eighth time that the network has gone down since its launch.
What led to the outage
A Solana validator stated that the recent застој was caused by a misconfigured чвор што је изазвало непоправљиву мрежну партицију.
A Twitter thread from the same validator explained that the downtime appeared to have been caused by a validator that propagated an invalid block.
According to the thread, the offending validator was running a duplicate instance, and both produced a block. The block production led to a fork that created an “obscure code path where validators were unable to switch back to the heaviest (main) fork.” Simply put, Solana validators were stuck on the wrong fork.
The problem was mitigated after 80% of Solana validators restarted the network.
Community lambasts Solana
The crypto community has lambasted Solana for recording another outage this year.
Members of the community compared Solana’s frailty to other networks, implying that SOL’s downtime has become a monthly affair.
