Solana‘s team stated that over the past week the network has withstood a sustained DDoS campaign—the fourth-largest on record for any distributed system. Despite the scale, there has been no measurable deterioration in on-chain performance, underscoring the chain’s design priority: survivability under extreme load.
A DDoS attack mobilizes countless devices to flood a target with traffic, exhausting bandwidth and resources, which can trigger service slowdowns or outages. Solana‘s architecture is constructed to absorb such bursts without compromising service.
Traders and developers should monitor indicators like network latency and transaction throughput; this disclosure highlights ongoing vigilance and a commitment to maintaining performance under stress.
