The blockchain network Solana had issues processing blocks on September 14 and according to a status report on September 15 at 2:01 a.m. (EST), the Solana validator community \u201csuccessfully completed a restart of Mainnet Beta.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solana Validators Restart Mainnet Beta<\/h2>\n

Solana is now a member of the club of blockchains that have stalled for several hours<\/a> stopping people from sending SOL transactions, using decentralized apps (dapps), and troubling block explorers and wallets with significant issues. During the early morning hours on Wednesday, following Solana\u2019s block production stall on Tuesday, the \u201cSolana Status\u201d Twitter account gave the community an update. The official Solana Twitter page also retweeted the Solana Status tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Solana validator community successfully completed a restart of Mainnet Beta after an upgrade to 1.6.25,\u201d Solana Status explained<\/a>. \u201cDapps, block explorers, and supporting systems will recover over the next several hours, at which point full functionality should be restored.\u201d Despite the restart people still complained about errors stemming from two different block explorers. The individual said:<\/p>\n

Why [do] Solscan and Explorer have different block heights? Solscan doesn\u2019t show new blocks for an hour already. Explorer\u2019s clock is wrong as well. Did Solana fork again?<\/p>\n

Solana Users Ask for Compensation, Solana\u2019s Use of Blockchain Questioned, Software Developer Explains Solana\u2019s Bug Differences From Ethereum\u2019s Issue in 2016<\/h2>\n

In response to the Solana Status report at 2:01 a.m. this morning, a few individuals asked for compensation. \u201cPlease compensate us solana holders who have been sh***ing our pants since the crash,\u201d one individual replied on Twitter to the Solana Status update. The Solana blockchain community caught a lot of flak for the outage and some wondered why the network uses a blockchain in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does Solana even use a blockchain?\u201d the Twitter account \u2018Mike in Space\u2019 tweeted<\/a> on Tuesday. \u201cIf you can just shut it down all day for \u201cmaintenance\u201d it doesn\u2019t sound very censorship-resistant to me,\u201d he added. An individual responded<\/a> to the tweet from Mike in Space and said: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter that it isn\u2019t censorship resistant because its main use case is something else.\u201d But this did not satisfy the cryptocurrency supporter and he replied:<\/p>\n

Why not a database then? Seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead.<\/p>\n

Ethereum developer Hudson Jameson wrote<\/a> about how he believes what happened to Solana \u201cis not the same thing that happened during the Ethereum Shanghai attacks in 2016, but I understand why people think so.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth attacks were DoS attacks meant to halt block production, so that is similar. The big difference is that in Ethereum blocks never stopped producing during the attacks because of our multi-client design decisions. Solana is literally having to do a network restart,\u201d Hudson stressed<\/a>. The software developer added:<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like the rhetoric and comparisons to Ethereum [Anatoly Yakovenko<\/a>] and others have made throughout the day on Twitter because it feels disingenuous and feels like it minimizes the issues Solana faced. I also don\u2019t like that some people in the Ethereum community are bashing Solana for having to manually restart. Ethereum could just as easily be in a similar position if the merge has a bug. All that being said, I hold no ill will towards Solana and wish them the best.<\/p>\n

At press time, solana (SOL) is down 7.5% over the last seven days and remains a top seven crypto asset in terms of market valuation. The incident did very little damage to people\u2019s perspective of the market and in the past four hours, SOL prices have seen gains.<\/p>\n
