"A chronicle of downtimes, forks, and challenges on the Solana blockchain

  • September 14, 2021: a DDoS attack caused the network 17 hours and 12 minutes of downtime.
  • January 6 - 8, 2022: What was presumed to be a DDoS attack lasted multiple days.
  • January 10, 2022: What was assumed to be the same DDoS attack.
  • January 22, 2022: The network suffered 29 hours of downtime with lots of duplicate transactions causing congestion and outages.
  • March 28, 2022: RPC nodes forked off during the upgrade to v1.9.
  • April 30, 2022: Network suffered a 7-hour outage due to millions of NFTs being minted.
  • May 27, 2022: Block times delayed up to 30 minutes.
  • June 1, 2022: A 5-hour outage due to a runtime bug triggered by the durable nonce transactions feature allowed, under a specific set of circumstances, for a failed durable nonce transaction to be processed twice.
  • October 1, 2022: A misconfigured node resulted in lost data, requiring a restart from a previous point, which apparently crashed the entire chain.
  • February 28, 2023: About 20 hours of downtime as Solana Mainnet experienced a large forking event."

Hopefully, my smaller sample size will overcome this problem.

  Many people think that Solana is dead because of the numerous network outages.  Is Solana dead?  Let's ask ChatCPT.... Q : Why does Solana still keep having problems with its network? ChatGPT: While Solana is designed to be a high-performance and scalable blockchain platform, it has experienced several network issues in the past. Some of the reasons for these problems include: 1) Network congestion: As more applications and users have joined the Solana network, the network has become congested, leading to delays and slower transaction processing times. This has resulted in higher fees and increased the risk of network congestion-related issues. 2) Centralization of network validators: The Solana network currently relies on a limited number of validators, which are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. This centralization has raised concerns about the security and decentralization of the network, particularly if the...
