Blockchain Neiegkeeten- Almost all on-chain action on the Solana network has ground to a halt.
- The network was only able to execute roughly 93 transactions per second (TPS).
As a technical glitch slowed users’ ability to trade solle, move assets, or do anything on the Solana network’s blockchain early Saturday, infrastructure providers scrambled to fix the problem. According to Solana’s Discord channel, the blockchain began “forking” at about 00:53 New York time. After that, the RAM of validators skyrocketed, but the chain’s transaction throughput plummeted.
Because of the confluence of these technical issues, almost all on-chain action on the Solana network has ground to a halt. The data site Solana Explorer shows that around 02:00, the network was only able to execute roughly 93 transactions per second (TPS), down significantly from the nearly 5000 TPS seen 15 minutes earlier.
Updated Solana Code
It was a crisis somewhat to that which occurred in the chain’s technology in 2022 when a number of breakdowns and slowdowns required changes to the way in which Solana handles incoming traffic. No one was immediately blamed for the disaster on Saturday, although validator operators and network engineers suspected a flaw in the updated Solana code that had only gone live hours before.
According to the anonymous SolBlaze, which operates a liquid staking pool and is involved in the development community, some validators have begun downgrading to the prior version in the hopes of recovering Solana’s throughput. After some time, Solana’s own staff members started calling for the demotion, too.
Within a few hours, the vast majority of validators had reverted to the previous software in an effort to get Solana back up and running. Yet that didn’t help much with the mystery pulling-down performance. Further extreme measures were taken, including resetting the chain to the instant before the fork.
