The Solana blockchain network resumed full operations following a five-hour major outage that temporarily halted transactions and disrupted services.
The interruption, which started at approximately 9:53 AM UTC, was resolved after a collaborative effort by Solana’s engineers and validator operators, leading to a successful network restart at 14:57 UTC. It was the first outage for the network in more than 350 days.
Major outage
The outage was attributed to a software issue related to the network’s upgrade mechanism, which caused a complete stop in block production, effectively freezing transactions across the network. The issue was promptly addressed through an upgrade to software version 1.17.20, allowing for a restart of the network cluster and restoration of services.
Experts pointed to a complication with the Berkeley Packet Filter mechanism, a component used for deploying upgrades and executing programs on Solana, as the source of the failure. This incident highlights
