The Solana network has been updated to a newer version and should return to stable operation in the next few hours.
The Solana blockchain experienced a glitch on Tuesday. This caused the network to stop processing transactions for sixteen hours.
Approximately 7 hours after the first announcement on Twitter, Solana Status published detailed information about the problem. According to the developers, the hackers carried out an attack with spam transactions, which increased the load on the network and stopped the processing of transactions and the release of new blocks.
Attempts to stabilize the network were unsuccessful. As a result, the validator community decided to restart it. Mainnet beta 1.6.25 was released this morning. Full restoration of work is expected in a few hours.
