Solana has confirmed an outage on its blockchain, causing block progression to halt.
“Engineers from across the ecosystem are investigating an outage on mainnet-beta,” Solana stated in an incident report.
“Solana mainnet-beta is experiencing a performance degradation, block progression is currently halted, core engineers and validators are actively investigating,” blockchain software company and Solana validator Laine posted on X.
Solana later confirmed that engineers were readying a new validator software release — including a patch to address the issue which caused the halt. "Validator operators should prepare for an upgrade and restart of the network," it said.
