For the fourth time this year, the Solana blockchain is completely down. A misconfigured node of the Solana network in recent weeks is said to be responsible for the total failure. Solana wants to be the top blockchain, better than Ethereum and Bitcoin and, conceptually, it could be, if it didn’t fail (almost regularly) to stay online reliably.

Whether it is the last failure for this year remains to be seen. What is certain is that the frequent total failures are massively damaging confidence in the project.
