Solana suffers 7-hour outage as NFT demand spills over
Solana, one of the top Ethereum competitors, has suffered 7 hours of downtime after its mainnet bet fell out of consensus, according to Austin Federa, head of communications at Solana Labs.
The global validator community has already managed to bring the network back online, successfully completing a cluster restart at 3:00 a.m. UTC. Candy Machine, an app designed to mint non-fungible tokens, was the main culprit behind the lengthy downtime.
