After facing a shutdown of more than four hours due to a bug, the Solana blockchain is finally back up and running.
The data from Solana Beach block explorer, Solana’s validators did not deal with new blocks for roughly four and half hours, leading to a complete closure of all of its applications.
In the same series of threads, the blockchain tweeted that the outage was caused due to a bug in the durable nonce transactions feature. This further led to nondeterminism when nodes produced different results for the same block. This in turn, prevented the network from advancing.
Validators had to restart to fix the latest outage by following the instructions that were tweeted by its official twitter account.
The recent shutdown was the latest in a sequence of outages of the network that took place in less than a year. Just last month it suffered a 7-hour network outage due to bots activity.
The blockchain network‘s had also suffered massive network congestion issues in January which lasted for about 48 hours which prompted outrage from frustrated users.
As per the latest development, the network now remains secure, and so do all funds.
