The Solana network has announced that it has been subjected to intense and continuous distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks for the past week.
In an announcement made via the social media platform X, the project team stated that the scale of these attacks ranks among the fourth largest in the history of distributed systems. Despite this, Solana emphasized that network performance has not been negatively impacted so far and that on-chain transactions continue stably.
Officials stated that the attacks involved high-volume traffic and attempts to overwhelm network resources, but the current architecture is resilient to such threats.
The Solana team reminded that one of the network's core design goals is to continue functioning normally even under this type of attack. The statement noted that there was no significant deterioration in block production, transaction confirmation times, or network latency.
Solana, known for its high transaction capacity and low latency, states that it has undergone similar stress tests in the past and has improved its infrastructure accordingly.
According to experts, these large-scale DDoS attacks are among the key indicators that test the technical resilience and decentralization level of networks.
Market observers say that despite the ongoing attacks, the smooth operation of decentralized applications, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms within the Solana ecosystem could enhance the network's credibility among both institutional and individual users. Solana, for its part, stated that it will continue to closely monitor the attacks and take additional security measures as needed.
