Solana the trending cryptocurrency, has experienced network instability after the increasing demand for the services. High demand caused the network to malfunction, and it stopped working. On the Twitter account, they posted – “Solana Mainnet Beta encountered a large increase in transaction load which peaked at 400,000 TPS…” Overload caused Solana to start forking, and some nodes stopped working. Following the unprecedented accident, Solana’s validator community elected to restart the network, and all necessary information was shared by them via social media such as Discord and Twitter.

The technical problems caused Solana to drop significantly. Solana was a trending and profitable cryptocurrency during the last 2 weeks. The price of Solana doubled its price in the short period since 1st September. SOL spiked from $105 to $215 in 9 days, and it was due to the NFT sale (Degenerate Apes), which was on the Solana blockchain. Since then, Solana has been trending on cryptocurrency exchanges. However, the last instability affected the price significantly.
