Solana investors are nursing double-digit losses today following yet another period of downtime. The blockchain went offline at around 16:55 UTC on Wednesday after a bug prevented block production.
Solana Suffers Four-Hour Outage
Solana is not having a great year having suffered its seventh outage in 2022.
On Twitter, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and other developers attributed the outage on Wednesday to a bug in the blockchain’s durable nonce transactions feature. This resulted in non-determinism, meaning that various nodes generated different results for the same block and no consensus could be reached.
According to the Solana status page, the network was down for four hours and ten minutes as validators were able to successfully restart the mainnet at around 21:00 UTC.
