The Solana network was unlucky when faced with a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack since 11pm last night Malaysian time.
Although the attack lasted more than 24 hours, the network remained 'online'.
DDoS refers to a major or major disruption to disable a website or provider (server).
As a result, network authenticators face difficulties in processing transactions, causing transactions to be mostly temporarily delayed.
For the record, this is not the first time Solana has fallen due to an unexpected attack.
In September, the network faced a 17-hour disruption stemming from massive botting activity for an initial DEX offering (IDO) on Solana’s Solana-based DEX platform, Raydium.
Solana Foundation did not provide any explanation as of the writing of the article. But Veribit CEO Roy Murphy isn’t happy with this flaw.
Be it its native token performance, SOL was not encouraging with a 10% decline from a daily high, $ 196.74 on Dec. 9 to a daily low, $ 177.22 today.
