On 1 June, Charles Hoskinson responded to the Solana Mainnet shutdown. Solana’s mainnet sparked a social media storm yesterday, only to be brought to a standstill again in short order. The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, couldn’t stay away and, in response to a tweet on Solana’s closure, proposed that its devs make a video on how to patch old video games.
When asked if he believes excessive arrogance may play a cruel joke on him like it did on Do Kwon and Luna, the Cardano creator responded that nothing is absolutely safe, and that everyone has troubles at times.
He claimed the reason for his snarky taunting is that the Solana and Luna communities have criticised Cardano severely for attempting to do things correctly and using professional judgement and formal techniques to prevent such difficulties.
The outage on the Solana Mainnet Beta lasted roughly four and a half hours, after which validators were able to restore service to the main network.
Anatoly Yakovenko, a co-founder of Solana Labs, hurried to explain that there was a flaw that caused part of the network to declare the block invalid, preventing consensus. This flaw caused nodes to provide different results, resulting in a consensus breakdown and the network’s final shutdown.
This feature has been deactivated and the network has been resumed. Bug patches “will be issued as quickly as feasible,” according to Yakovenko.
The SOL price dropped 12.5 percent as a result of the breakdown, settling at around $40 per token. As a result, SOL is now trading at last August’s pricing, wiping out all of the previous year’s gains.
