Solana network restarts after outage that lasted five hours
Quick Take The Layer 1 network Solana restarted after five hours of going dark.
The Layer 1 network Solana has restarted after going dark around five hours earlier.
"Block production on Solana mainnet beta resumed at 14:57 UTC (9:47 a.m. ET), following a successful upgrade to v1.17.20 and a restart of the cluster by validator operators. Engineers will continue to monitor performance as network operations are restored," the network wrote in an incident report .
"The outage began at approximately 09:53 UTC, lasting 5 hours. Core contributors are working on a root cause report, which will be made available once complete," the report continued.
The outage
At 10:22 UTC (5:22 a.m. ET), Solana wrote in a network status notice that "engineers from across the ecosystem are investigating an outage on mainnet-beta."
The disruption caused block progression to halt, meaning transactions couldn't go through, The Block previously reported .
After around two hours of attempting to fix the matter, Solana Status, a page run by the Solana Foundation, said on the social media platform X that "engineers from across the ecosystem are readying a new validator software release, which includes a patch to address an issue which caused the cluster to halt. Validator operators should prepare for an upgrade and restart of the network."
The last time Solana experienced a "Major Outage" was in February 2023 , when the blockchain was down for a few hours. After two restart attempts, the network came back online.
