Following the initial incident on Feb. 25, Solana resolved the blockchain\u2019s performance degradation after validators decided to restart the network. According to an outage report following more than 24 hours of downtime, Solana developers detailed that the \u201croot cause is still unknown and under active investigation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social Media Mocks Solana\u2019s 10th Downtime, Supporters Defend Project<\/h2>\n

Solana has faced renewed criticism after the blockchain network experienced its tenth downtime<\/a> on Feb. 25 and into the following day. The network was widely mocked on social media and forums, including r\/cryptocurrency. In one forum thread, a user wrote<\/a>, \u201cGiving a second chance is one thing I can get behind. An 11th chance, on the other hand, is beyond delusional.\u201d Additionally, people made jokes<\/a> about the bumpy restart of Solana, and in the Discord server, validators discussed adding their phone numbers to receive text messages about future restarts.<\/p>\n

\"Solana<\/p>\n

Bitcoin.com News reported<\/a> on the initial downtime after the Solana Status webpage disclosed there was a problem with \u2018cluster instability.\u2019 The incident wasn\u2019t resolved until Feb. 26, 2023, at 2:09 UTC. Some critics called<\/a> the problem and previous downtime issues a \u201cdesign flaw,\u201d while others favored shorting solana<\/a> (SOL). Despite the significant downtime, Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko defended the project, stressing<\/a> that \u201cSolana wants to be fast and super secure.\u201d Brandon Tucker, the growth lead at Marinade Finance, a Solana-based liquid staking project, said an upcoming upgrade should significantly reduce these outages in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cChain restarts are never welcome, but it\u2019s not a major setback,\u201d Tucker said in a message sent to Bitcoin.com News. \u201cIndeed, despite the furor, it\u2019s a similar outage to the five others we\u2019ve seen over the last 12-18 months. Ultimately, it\u2019s good to see the validator community rally together on their own accord to initiate the updates and restart the chain in real-time. Solana is attempting to do something that no other chain has done with regard to throughput and decentralization and the path to get there is not straight \u2013 especially when it\u2019s already being used by more people than just about any other chain,\u201d the Marinade Finance executive added.<\/p>\n
