Solana Goes Dark For 7 Hours as Bots Swarm ‘Candy Machine’ NFT Minting Tool
Solana stakeholders rushed to right the network Saturday night after what one insider called “insane amount of data” flooded the proof-of-stake chain, knocking validators out of consensus and grinding still block production.
Bots had swarmed the popular NFT minting tool known as Candy Machine earlier Saturday with an unprecedented tsunami of inbound traffic: four million transaction requests and 100 gigabits of data every second – a record for the network, one source at the Solana Foundation said.For reasons not yet clear, this swarm pushed validators out of consensus.
