What happened
Solana was down for 4 hours on January 4th, however, Solana.Status showed no problems with the network. The Solana blockchain suffered its third incident in just a few months, resulting in network congestion and failed transactions, with users debating whether it was caused by another DDos attack or just a network issue. Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, denied there was a DDoS attack this time around.
