Solana CEO says It doesn’t matter if the network goes down again

The CEO of the Solana project shared his stance on the possibility of the outage of the Solana network and described it as a non-headache thing. 

In September, due to bot attacks on the Solana network, Solana got down for up to 17 hours. However, later, the team fixed the network by rebooting again. 

Now in the latest interview in the Solana Breakpoint, Solana CEO Anatoly Yakovenko was questioned about ‘what are the chances if the network goes down again’. Then Anatoly said that “I don’t know. It doesn’t matter, though.”

In actuality, the statement of Solana CEO pointed the question toward the concept of copying the network data in at least one ledger. According to him, if at least one ledger of the Solana network has a copy of data then in that situation no issues will arise and all funds remain safe. However, there will occur huge issues in the transaction speed. 

After that, Solana CEO questioned if he doesn’t care about it “then how much do you care that there’s a 72-hour block?”

Anatoly replied that the Solana network is not going down. Further, he took the reference of a long time outage of the network of 17 hours. And said that if it goes down then there will be only a delay in between the completion of the block and probably that can be a maximum of 17 hours for now. 

Further, Solana CEO pointed to the same situation for the Bitcoin network and claimed that there are huge chances that the Bitcoin blockchain network may face one to two hours without a block but all depends upon the success of the validators in the network that how fast they will recover the block. 

“So that technically does look like a 17-hour block if you look at the history…If the validators got good and recovered within two hours, is it the same?”
