Any form of leveraged derivatives markets on Solana was at risk of under-collateralization, he explained.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Normally when the network is operating properly, all is good because there are some safety buffers put in place, oracles running, and liquidation incentivization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, the researcher noted that once Solana got back online, there could be a huge surge of miners and arbitrage traders looking to exploit the difference in price between the last processed block on Solana and the first block that goes online. If the first handful of actions on the Solana network managed to drain the liquidity from decentralized exchanges and then liquidate the assets, there is a high possibility that many lenders on the network would automatically default.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;This may end up being another induced, naturally heavy transaction load in pursuit of the profits to be made. If the infrastructure isn't ready for it, it could just crash once again,&#8221; he went on to explain.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the Solana validator community elected to restart the network on September 15th, the mainnet beta was upgraded to version 1.6.25. All dApps, block explorers, and supporting systems on Solana are expected to recover throughout the day.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Solana validator community successfully completed a restart of Mainnet Beta after an upgrade to 1.6.25. Dapps, block explorers, and supporting systems will recover over the next several hours, at which point full functionality should be restored.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Solana Status (@SolanaStatus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SolanaStatus\/status\/1438020110451609603?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since the restart, no meaningful insolvency was registered on the network.
