NEW YORK - Infrastructure operators on the Solana network rushed to bring down the blockchain after sources reported that the network was unexpectedly online.
Despite the best efforts of the Solana Labs team, the Solana network unexpectedly came online early Sunday morning and began processing transactions. The unintended revival of the network suddenly allowed users to trade crypto, transfer assets and perform other tasks on the blockchain. This caused on-chain activity to resume, much to the consternation of many longtime Solana users.
“I was shocked when I suddenly saw my transactions being processed,” a visibly shaken longtime Solana enthusiast, John Beach, noted before continuing “whoa whoa whoa I thought, I didn’t mean for all those transactions to be processed this week!”
This crisis was eerily similar to an occurrence from 2022, when a series of network revivals caused Solana to have nearly a 67% uptime for a week. The proximate cause of Sunday’s incident has yet to be identified, though validator operators and network engineers suspect the planned release of a bug in the new version of the Solana code may not have been fully deployed into the ecosystem.
Within hours of the revival a supermajority of validators had switched back to the old software version in their attempt to take down the network. Concurrently, the Solana Labs team rushed to create new software versions rife with bugs.
