Solana Mainnet Back Online After 20 Hours Offline – SOL Regains Some
Engineers succeeded to restore service on Solana’s network of node-runners after nearly 20 hours offline.
Solana’s blockchain validators came back online Wednesday morning following a marathon session of fits and starts by engineers working hard to restore service.
After being down for more than half a day, the high speed blockchain succeeded shortly after 1:30 am Eastern time in pushing a network patch that held across a network of validators.
“And we’re back!” declared one developer in the Solana Discord Server, the site of much of the action on Tuesday and early Wednesday.
The sentiment across Solana’s ecosystem was relieved: a high-profile outage had ended.
Service remained spotty immediately following the patch, according to a Twitter account run by the Solana Foundation.
The Solana validator community successfully completed a restart of Mainnet Beta after an upgrade to 1.6.25. Dapps, block explorers, and supporting systems will recover over the next several hours, at which point full functionality should be restored.

Traders appeared took the news well. SOL quickly popped over 3%, reclaiming some lost ground but still short of yesterday’s highs. SOL had been down 13%, to the mid $140 range, at Tuesday’s lowest point.
