Solana mainnet down almost a year after last major outage

It has been 262 days days — over 37 weeks or more than 6,000 hours — since Solana last suffered a major outage.

Solana has not suffered a major outage in 262 days.

The last major disruption occurred on February 6 and lasted five hours.

The network’s incident history tracker did not provide a reason for the outage but noted that the issue was apparently resolved after “a successful upgrade to v1.17.20 and a restart of the cluster by validator operators.”

At the time, Solana’s SOL token fell 2% to $94 as a result of the disruption.

Protos has compiled a chart detailing this and every other Solana outage since its launch.

The next most recent outage occurred almost a year earlier on February 25, 2023, and was put down to “cluster instability.”

Before this, major issues struck the network on September 30, 2022, and June 1, 2022.

Solana launched in 2020 but according to its tracker, it suffered no major disruption until January 2022 — a brief period of “degraded performance.”

This was followed in 2022 by a further 26 issues ranging from the aforementioned degraded performance to a far more serious mainnet outage.
