Why is Solana down?

By SoyRass | Cryptoworldstandard | 15 Sep 2021


Many people on the Solana Ecosystem may have noticed that the cryptocurrency is down.  Which drove down the price as people are spreading fear uncertainty and doubt due to the Solana Network being down, the Solana Mainnet Beta was hit with a massive increase in its transaction load topping out at 400,000 transactions per secound.  The transaction flooded the queue, and lack of prioritization of network-critical messaging caused the network to start forking. @SolanaStatus posted on their twitter.  Some people believed this may have been an attack to the network and they put it up to a vote to the community how they should move forward but it seems like they are going to restart the network.  The crypto currency is down in price but is starting to recover.  This also caused NFT's planned to drop today and tommorrow to be delayed for the time being til the problems are resolved.
