On Saturday, February 25, 2023, the Solana blockchain experienced a technical glitch known as a “large forking event,” causing transaction failures for some users. Solana’s incident report referred to it as “cluster instability” and indicated that a coordinated restart was launched to accelerate block finalization.
The Solana Status update website referred to the issue as “cluster instability” and indicated that Solana engineers were investigating slow root production on mainnet beta and that a coordinated restart was launched “to resolve an issue during the upgrade from 1.13 to 1.14 that caused a significant slowdown in block finalization.”
The Solana Status page includes a document link that provides validators with instructions on how to proceed with the restart. Essentially, validators were required to take a snapshot at slot 179526408, modify validator command-lines, install the previous version 1.13.6, and then restart the validator.
Solana’s recent issues are reminiscent of the problems the blockchain encountered last year, including multiple block production outages. This technical glitch has caused some users to question the reliability of the blockchain.
However, the Solana team is working hard to address the issue and ensure that the blockchain is running smoothly. The team is also exploring ways to improve the blockchain’s security and reliability.
In addition, Oman is set to incorporate real estate tokenization into its virtual asset regulatory framework. This will open up investment opportunities for local and foreign investors.
Overall, the Solana team is working hard to address the issue and ensure that the blockchain is running smoothly. The team is also exploring ways to improve the blockchain’s security and reliability. Additionally, Oman’s move to incorporate real estate tokenization into its virtual asset regulatory framework is a positive step forward for the blockchain industry.
