Engineers from across the ecosystem are investigating an outage on mainnet-beta
February 6, 2024 at 3:09 PM UTCresolved
Block production on Solana mainnet beta resumed at 14:57 UTC, following a successful upgrade to v1.17.20 and a restart of the cluster by validator operators. Engineers will continue to monitor performance as network operations are restored. The outage began at approximately 09:53 UTC, lasting 5 hours. Core contributors are working on a root cause report, which will be made available once complete.

Engineers are currently investigating slow root production on mainnet beta. 2023-02-25 05:46:16 UTC the Solana network entered degraded mode (vote-only). This means that economic activity on the network stopped while the network attempts to recover. Core contributors of the protocol are working to identify the root cause of this issue.

On-chain time continues to run behind that of wall clocks, due to longer-than-normal block times. While this has no impact on performance or network operations, the time reported by block explorers and dapps may not reflect wall-clock time.
