It was previously reported that the Solana network had an outage on the morning of February 25. The transactions were being processed slowly because the blockchain was having issues. An initial attempt to restart the network was made a few hours after the outage began, however, it was unsuccessful.
The status update indicates the repair was implemented at 01:28 UTC, and developers have since been watching. The problem was judged fixed at 02:09 UTC.
Patchy History of Outages
The Solana network has had outages before. Many failures of a similar kind have occurred in the past. This is because there is a lot of demand on the network’s nodes to remain in sync due to the fact that they are designed to sustain a high transaction throughput. A similar procedure of restarting the blockchain network occurred in October last year when a bug caused a lengthy downtime.
Although there was a temporary disruption in the Solana network, the price of SOL did not change much. SOL is now trading at $22.95 as per CMC. The price of SOL hardly budged at all throughout the blackout.
The crypto community has voiced its displeasure with the frequency of the Solana outages. Solana network, sometimes compared to Ethereum, is one of the best blockchain networks currently available, however, it has been plagued by frequent outages.
