Solana suffered one of the most powerful DDoS attacks in history, peaking at 6 Tbps, making it the fourth strongest known cyberattack of its kind.According to cybersecurity experts, the attack targeted key network nodes in the Solana ecosystem and lasted several hours, resulting in temporary network performance degradation and transaction processing delays. Despite the unprecedented power of the attack, Solana's infrastructure maintained its integrity and users were notified of temporary limitations.For comparison, the average power of DDoS attacks in 2025 rarely exceeds the mark of 1 Tbps, and previous record cases were recorded at 2-3 Tbps. Experts note that such intensive attacks require significant resources and complex organization, which indicates a high level of training of attackers.Solana team actively cooperates with leading companies in the field of cybersecurity to improve protection mechanisms and minimize the consequences of such incidents in the future. Platform representatives emphasized that no user assets were compromised and all network services were fully restored as soon as possible.This incident highlights the growing threat of large-scale DDoS attacks to digital ecosystems and the need for continuous development of cyber defense technologies.
