Solana rose by as much as 8% to start the week, as the token moved toward a one-month high. The token climbed for a second straight session, as the global banking crisis pushed investors towards cryptocurrencies. Chainlink was also higher, hitting a three-week high.

Solana (SOL) moved closer to a one-month high to start the week, as prices surged by as much as 10% in today’s session. Following a low of $21.59 on Sunday, SOL/USD raced to an intraday peak of $23.83 earlier in the day. As a result of Monday’s move, solana has now moved to its strongest point since late-February.

    Solana (SOL) is an integrated, open-source blockchain with the goal of synchronizing global information at the speed of light. Solana optimizes for latency and throughput, sacrificing some verifiability. It seeks to accomplish this through features such as its novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), block propagation protocol Turbine, and parallel transaction processing. Since mainnet launch in March 2020, several network upgrades have brought further network performance and resilience, including QUIC, stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS), and local fee markets.

  • Solana’s Outage and Future — CoinShares’ Perspective

    Recently Solana experienced its first outage in over 11 months. An infinite loop was propagated across the network’s validators due to a faulty implementation inside of the core software via the Berkley Packet Filter which is the mechanism to deploy, upgrade and execute programs on Solana. Block production halted, impeding the chain’s progress (in layman’s terms, it went offline). Validators then manually verified, inside of a Google Sheet, a snapshot of the last valid block. For the chain to restart, at least 80% of validators began running the patched software for blocks to be added to the chain.
