On February 6, 2024, the Solana network experienced a significant outage at 10:22 UTC that halted block production and core functionalities. The outage, lasting approximately five hours, prompted swift action from engineers and validators within the ecosystem. Solana validators commenced preparations for a restart by generating snapshots and ensuring consistency in the network's state. A software patch, version 1.17.20, was developed and deployed to address the issue. This patch enabled validators to upgrade their systems and coordinate efforts to resume normal network operation.
