On Tuesday, the Solana blockchain experienced a major outage that stopped the network\u2019s mainnet operations for approximately 5 hours. The outage raised concerns about the blockchain\u2019s stability and security as the incident became the 11th of the kind in the last 2 years.<\/p>\n
On February 6, the Solana blockchain network suffered a significant<\/a> outage that lasted 4 and 46 minutes and disrupted the network\u2019s operations, raising doubts about the blockchain and exposing the project to fierce criticism.<\/p>\n The crypto community took no time to share their thoughts about the situation, with many crypto investors referring to memes and jokes to express their concerns about the history of Solana\u2019s outages<\/a>.<\/p>\n Among the online voices, Cardano\u2019s Founder, Charles Hoskinson, took the opportunity to poke fun at the situation by referencing his previous jokes about the network. Hoskinson replied to the Solana team\u2019s announcement simply stating, \u201cThis always works,\u201d and attaching a gif of a man blowing a malfunctioning video game\u2019s cartridge before inserting it back into the console.<\/p>\n This always works https:\/\/t.co\/5kVRVGFM4l<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/X9yJXcETQn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) February 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Members of the crypto community found the remark amusing.
