SOLЦена Solana

Solmate Infrastructure (NASDAQ: SLMT), a company specializing in blockchain, staking, and AI solutions, has purchased an additional 1,001 SOL. This acquisition brings the company's total holdings to approximately 1.26 million SOL. The purchase coincides with Solana validators supporting proposals to reduce the issuance of new SOL tokens and increase the volume of tokens burned through network fees, changes that could impact Solana's long-term economic model by slowing supply growth. Solmate plans to stake the acquired SOL through its institutional validator infrastructure, aiming to increase its participation in the Solana network and earn additional staking rewards. This move is part of Solmate's broader strategy to develop infrastructure for institutional engagement within the Solana ecosystem, building up its SOL reserves while expanding its validator operations, staking services, and partnerships.

Today, the Solana network narrowly avoided a catastrophic halt due to a routing error that simultaneously took many validators offline. At its peak, 28.83% of staked SOL became non-transactional, bringing the network within 86% of the critical 33.34% threshold where block finalization would have stopped. While block production continued and a full network outage was averted, the incident highlighted the risk of a "finality halt." The problem originated from a misconfigured default route from a Teraswitch data center in Miami, which was propagated to centers in Europe and Asia-Pacific. This caused traffic loss in 12 locations, including London, Amsterdam, and Singapore. The issue was identified within 10 minutes, but some validators took about 33 minutes to recover fully. Analysis by Marinade Finance revealed significant infrastructure concentration risk. Approximately 118.89 million SOL (over a quarter of the total stake) is hosted within a single autonomous system (AS20326), and about 94% of it went offline during the event. Furthermore, stakes worth around 14.1 million SOL on other platforms were also affected, raising concerns that provider-based concentration metrics may underestimate true correlation risks. The incident resulted in roughly 333 SOL in missed staking rewards for the 90 impacted validators.

On Wednesday, August 12, the Solana network came within 14% of a complete outage, narrowly avoiding a crash after 28.83% of staked $SOL fell out of consensus. The issue stemmed from a payment delay at hosting provider Teraswitch, which affected several data centers and caused nearly 90 validators to go offline. Had the unaccounted staked $SOL reached 33.34%, the network would have halted. The incident, which lasted 33 minutes, was resolved after Teraswitch engineers identified and isolated a problematic router. During the outage, validators missed approximately 333 SOL in rewards, valued around $25,600, with losses absorbed by operators, not stakers. Major validators like Helius were affected, though services like laine and Cogent Crypto recovered smoothly. This near-miss occurred just two days after Solana marked 30 months of uninterrupted uptime, a streak previously broken by a five-hour outage in February 2024. Network reliability improvements, including QUIC transport, priority fees, and the launch of the independent Firedancer client in late 2025, are designed to prevent single points of failure. Solana's status page continues to report 100% uptime for the past 90 days.

On August 12th, a routing failure at infrastructure provider TeraSwitch caused approximately 90 Solana validators, representing 28.83% of staked SOL, to go offline simultaneously. This brought the network dangerously close to the 33.34% threshold at which transaction finality would halt, stopping the blockchain. The incident, highlighted by Marinade Finance, lasted about 33 minutes before routing was restored. The affected validators missed out on roughly 333 SOL in rewards during the downtime. The event underscored significant risks from infrastructure concentration, as TeraSwitch alone managed validators with 27.34% of the total staked SOL prior to the outage. Marinade Finance stated it would revise limits on validator distribution across autonomous systems and data centers to improve resilience. Some major operators, like Coinbase, already distribute infrastructure across multiple providers with backup servers to mitigate such single points of failure. The incident echoes a 2022 event where provider Hetzner, hosting ~40% of validators, disconnected nodes, though the network remained operational.
