Solana Network Outage
The Solana blockchain has had its fourth outage of the year, nearly a year after the September 14 outage, which took the network offline for 18 hours. Solana Status stated in a tweet on October 1 that the Solana network is experiencing an outage and challenges with transaction processing. Developers are attempting to identify and address the issue.

Furthermore, Solana validator Laine alerted the community in a series of tweets that a misconfigured node triggered an unrecoverable split in the network. Validators were having trouble reaching a consensus since one validator was running a duplicate validator instance.
According to Laine's validator monitoring platform, the developers have begun the restart. On the other hand, the Solana network restart is 57% complete. For the Solana network to become online, the active stake visible in gossip must reach 80%.
SOL Price Drops Due to Network Outage

At the time of writing, the price was trading at $32.9. If the restart does not happen soon, the price of Solana may fall much further.
