An unexpected bug halted the Solana network for nearly six hours. The developers say they will publish the causes as soon as possible.
According to the statement, at 13:46 UTC on Friday, December 4, the beta cluster of the Solana mainnet stopped producing blocks at slot 53,180,900, hindering transaction confirmations.
By 19:46 UTC on the same day the network resumed operations. User assets, as project representatives noted, were not at risk.
The cause of the network outage has been identified. Thanks to the community for your patience and support.
A detailed post-mortem will be published as soon as possible.
