Solana Outages
Q82. Solana experienced another outage on 6/1 where validators were forced to restart the network. The network experienced a similar problem back on 5/1. After the restart happens during these outages, how do users on the network generally respond?
Questions:
Does the price of SOL drop because users lose confidence in the network?
Is there more swapping behavior and more stablecoin activity?
What protocols seem to have more activity after these types of events that on the average day in the Solana ecosystem?
Is there more fear from defi Solana users than NFT enjoyers?
Solana is a highly functional open source project that implements a new, permissionless and high-speed layer-1 blockchain.
Created in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, a former executive at Qualcomm, Solana aims to scale throughput beyond what is typically achieved by popular blockchains while keeping costs low. Solana implements an innovative hybrid consensus model that combines a unique proof-of-history (PoH) algorithm with the lightning-fast synchronization engine, which is a version of proof-of-stake (PoS). Because of this, the Solana network can theoretically process over 710,000 transactions per second (TPS) without any scaling solutions needed.
Solana’s third-generation blockchain architecture is designed to facilitate smart contracts and decentralized application (DApp) creation. The project supports an array of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms as well as nonfungible token (NFT) marketplaces.
Solana blockchain was rolled out during the 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) boom. The project’s internal testnet was released in 2018, followed by multiple testnet phases leading to the eventual official launch of the main network in 2020.
