After a shocking rally in the cryptocurrency market and weeks of bullishness, Left (LEFT) also consolidated, but there seems to be more than one reason behind it.
Solana, which broke the all-time record and went up to $ 200, was offline for about 17 hours as of September 14 and the network could not be reached.
Following this, a problem with DNS in the network arose and the network was disabled for a while. In the initial statements, it was stated that this was due to excessive density in the network, but now it is seen that the situation is an attack.
Attack on Solana!
According to the newly emerged information and the report, a DDOS attack may have been made on the Solana network. It is stated that this is different from a traditional DDOS attack and is done directly against validators on the network.
In this case, it is stated that an interesting hard fork was created in the last block of the network and Solana had to restart the network for this reason.
In the additional statement made by the Solana Foundation, it was stated that the studies on this issue are continuing and that steps will be taken to prevent such situations in the future.
Although the severity of the DDOS attack is not known exactly, it is helpful to say that it clogs a network capable of processing more than 50,000 transactions per second.
The SOL price, on the other hand, was withdrawn to the level of $ 135 with the general downward wave after it went up to $ 213 and the situation is quite bad.
