Sol has recently experienced an outage for the fifth time in this year 2022 itself. The primary reason for the outage is believed to be a bug-related issue. The network of Solana is not witnessing the greatest time mainly because of the reason that they suffered partial or complete outages on seven separate occasions in the course of the last 12 months.
Sol blockchain was knocked offline by a bug that resulted in a stop in block production at around 4 PM this Wednesday. The recent outage had occurred for more than four hours. The validator operators tried to restart the mainnet at almost 21:00 UTC, as reported.
Outages Continue At Solana
Anatoly Yakovenko is the co-founder of Solana Labs. He took to his Twitter account to explain recent occurrences. He stated that nonce instruction created the outage that halted their blockchain.
Transaction nonce of durable manner means that the mechanism pointing towards the conventional short lifetime of every block hash of the transaction. A specific bug in this mechanism created different outputs in the nodes. This led to a consensus failure resulting in downtime.
Yakovenko further added that the bug problem will soon be resolved and Solana will restart.
Solana Facing Complains
