Solana Nears Transaction Finality Halt Amidst Routing Bug

The outage impacted 90 validators and led to an estimated 333 SOL in missed rewards. This event closely mirrors a more significant five-hour outage that occurred in February, highlighting ongoing network stability concerns. The proximity to a complete halt underscores the vulnerability of the network to infrastructure failures at key providers.

The reliance on specific hosting providers like Teraswitch for critical infrastructure means that disruptions at these points can have cascading effects across the blockchain. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges in maintaining high availability and transaction finality in distributed ledger technologies, particularly when external infrastructure components fail.
