- RPCs went offline yet Solana network continued to work
- SOL is trading at over 16 USD
Recently Solana Status also reported the bugs being fixed which were affecting the nodes recently adopted in the test release. For the upgrade, it advised the node operating entities to “change over to 1.13.”
In a Tweet on January 8, it noted going offline of “mainnet beta Explorer and Solana Foundation Public RPC endpoints” due to an upgrade in RPC node software given the bug in 1.14 test release.
Both the block production and Solana network remained prone to any impact following the incident, it added.
The RPC endpoints nodes have the responsibility of connecting the decentralized applications and wallets with the blockchain. There was no effect on the network after the incident and the block production remained normal since the QuickNode, Alchemy and Triton like private RPC firms were available for use.
សូឡាណា network had been through tough phases this year since it witnessed 14 outages which summed up for about 4 days, 12 hours and 21 minutes. A node issue was the reason behind the network’s last reported outage in October last year.
The potential smart contract enabled blockchain, Solana network, which was struggling for weeks, recently witnessed bit stability and even made a notable jump. Change in scenario is the result of last week launching Solana based memecoin BONK. Even after losing its value gradually, the crypto asset remained ahead of many major cryptocurrencies.
In addition to the efforts of maintaining its great form, as on January 5, Solana maintained the daily addresses activities more than its prominent contenders including Etheruem, Polygon, etc. according to Artemis data.
Solana (SOL) is currently trading at 16.40 USD with a surge of over 21% in the last 24 hours and over 48% in the last week. Considering the token was trading at around 8 USD during the last year’s end, the current price showcases almost a 100% growth from there. In terms of market capitalization, SOL token holds 11th position after significant growth.
Given the growth of Bonk (BONK), it appears that the crypto community is pushing the price and making the memecoin rallying continuously. Within the first week of this year, BONK token surged more than 1000% resulting in more activity on the network.
