Solana under ‘industrial scale’ DDoS attack: Co-founder says it’s ‘bullish’

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and ecosystem figures reported that the Solana network was hit by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack peaking near six terabits per second (Tbps), described by one project as 'industrial-scale.' Despite the massive traffic, which some sources claim is one of the largest in internet history, the network showed no significant signs of stress, leading Yakovenko to call the attack 'bullish' because it required immense resources to execute without causing downtime. A chart shared by Pipe Network suggested this was the fourth-largest DDoS attack ever reported, though this claim is disputed by other reported attacks. The article also contextualizes this event by reviewing Solana's history of outages since 2020, which have often been tied to bugs or transaction spam, contrasting this with Bitcoin's near-perfect uptime record.
