Infrastructure provider went down last night. Some $SOL validators affected.
You probably didn't even notice. Network didn't skip a beat.
The numbers:
597 out of 699 staked validators kept voting
6 out of 7 validators unaffected
Recovery time: 40 minutes
Solana Foundation validators: zero impact
This is what real decentralization looks like. Single point of failure? Doesn't exist here. Validators spread across independent infra means one provider dying doesn't take down the chain.
Blocks kept producing. Transactions kept landing. Business as usual.
Stress test passed.
