Deep dives

Solana experiences 5-hour network outage

Solana experienced a significant network outage that lasted for five hours, marking the first time it has been down in almost a year. The outage was caused by a bug in the BPF loader, which handles the deployment and execution of programs on the Solana network. The bug was introduced during a recent upgrade and resulted in a complete halt of transaction activity on the network. Once restarted, there was a surge in DeFi arbitrage activity as traders took advantage of stale prices that had built up during the downtime.
