Solana Recovery: Blockchain Restored Within 5 Hours After Shutdown
Summary
Solana (SOL) experienced a 5-hour disruption on its mainnet-beta, prompting concerns in the cryptocurrency community. An upgrade to v1.17.20 and a cluster restart successfully resumed block production. The outage led to a temporary 5% drop in SOL's value, but it has since rebounded. An ongoing investigation aims to identify the root cause and implement preventive measures. Concerns have been raised about SOL's long-term viability due to the recent outage and previous incidents.
