As a result, new transactions could not be accepted for processing for several minutes and were rejected. In addition, some transactions were canceled due to parameter changes (e.g. timestamps)," the post explained.
Cointelegraph contacted Starknet for more details on the incident, but did not receive any further information on whether blockchain-compliant #blockchain #mining was stopped.
The last time Starknet's status page reflected a major outage was on March 13, when the network took longer to generate blocks due to the #binance Dencun update.
The Starknet outage is the latest in a series of outages on the ecosystem's largest blockchain networks.
The #Solana network experienced a major outage in early February 2024. An outage in block mining on the main network halted the network's blockchain advancement for more than five hours.
This was not the first Solana outage: since January 2022, the Solana network has experienced about half a dozen significant outages and 15 days of partial or major outages.
Anza, Solana's software developer, published a report on the latest outage on Feb. 9.
According to the report, there was a bug in Solana's just-in-time (JIT) compilation cache (which compiles all software before executing a transaction).
Austin Feder, head of strategy at the Solana Foundation, told Cointelegraph that the old loader system is in the process of being replaced with a new one that will be disabled in the updated version.
It looks like someone deliberately called up an old instruction set that had long since been unused but remained in the codebase, and the JIT compiler ran into a problem by not finding what it was looking for. This created an endless loop," Feder told Cointelegraph.
Solana ran into problems again in early April, when nearly 75% of all transactions on the network failed amid an influx of activity caused by the recent memcoin boom.
Analysts speculate that these failed transactions were mostly caused by bot activity on Solana attempting to make arbitrage transactions.
