To avoid that scenario in the future, Metaplex, the creators of Solana’s NFT protocol, has implemented a “bot tax” penalty. In the last several months, Ethereum has struggled with millions of failed-but-paid transactions due to high gas costs. A blockchain outage occurred in January when the network was plagued with problems and poor performance for nine days out of 31 in the month. This isn’t the first time that Solana’s network has been shut down. A bug in the feature caused nodes to produce different outputs, resulting in consensus failure and eventually causing the most recent outage. Later, Solana’s co-founder Anatoly Yalovenko went on Twitter to clarify things, stating that the previous worldwide outage was caused by a bug that prompted the nodes to generate distinct outputs, resulting in a consensus failure.

This week's Solana stoppage caused by consensus bug, as network ... (CoinGeek)

Solana, the blockchain network with more reboots than Batman, ground to a halt again this week after a bug caused nodes to disagree on consensus.

It has also proven its ability to scale well into the millions of transactions per day without ever needing a “restart” of the entire network. It’s one of the reasons longevity is more desirable in this industry than exciting new features or fancy new consensus/processing mechanisms that promise much, until the next dreaded “something unexpected” comes along. Such an occurrence would almost certainly be the death knell for any blockchain network, as frantic traders tried to buy and sell large bags on exchanges suddenly unable to confirm deposits. The slickly-marketed Solana, with its synthwave branding and promises of speed, has often been touted as an “Ethereum killer” for running DApps and DeFi applications. This latest incident saw Solana’s (SOL) unit price crash even harder than other digital assets over the past 24 hours, with the token losing 11.7% of its value. Though developers quickly applied band-aid measures and flipped Solana’s power switch off and on once again, the network’s user community is becoming more vocal in its dissatisfaction with the recurring problems.
