Solana Network Suffers Brief Outage, SOL Steady
Transactional activity on the buzzing Solana network has briefly halted amid a “performance degradation,” validators for the network confirmed Tuesday.
“Solana Mainnet-Beta is experiencing a performance degradation, block progression is currently halted, core engineers & validators are actively investigating,” said Laine, a Solana validator, in an X post.
Blocks seem to have last processed at 09:52 UTC, data from Solana blockchain trackers show. Solana’s SOL tokens remained unimpacted by the outage as of writing time.
The halt comes nearly a year after the Solana network for down for almost two days in April 2023.
