<p>As per the latest update, Solana Blockchain experienced a significant outage in the production of all blocks on its mainnet since 10:22 UT, Feb 6. Following the issue, the engineer, validators, and all other responsible entities are working closely to resolve the issue as early as possible.</p>
<p>The Solana team was the 1st to figure out the issue and stated that “all hands were on deck to investigate the root cause of the stop-in block advancement.” On the other hand, the Solana Blockchain explorer confirmed the severity of the situation by marking it as a significant outrage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When writing, Solana (SOL) was trading at $94.33, with an intraday decline of 3.89%. However, a sudden spike of 6% was seen in the token’s trading volume.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Per the company’s website, “Solana is a highly functional open-source project that banks on blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to provide decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions”.</p>
<p>Today’s outage of Solana has potentially affected confidence in meme coins on its network; more money might also flow to projects like Sponge V2 that run on the Ethereum ecosystem.</p>
<p>Market observers believe that the outage has affected the blockchain. If the issue is not resolved, further loss to the network and market is expected.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
