Солана сталкивается с исторической DDoS-атакой, но поддерживает стабильность транзакций Translation: Solana Faces Historic DDoS Attack While Maintaining Transaction Stability

At the time of writing, the Solana network is facing a massive DDoS attack, which has been ongoing for over a week, according to SolanaFloor.

Experts have reported that the attack’s intensity reached 6 Tbps. This incident marks the fourth most powerful attack in history, alongside assaults on the infrastructure of Google Cloud, Cloudflare, and AWS.

Despite the high volume of incoming traffic, the blockchain continues to process transactions normally.

The team at Pipe Network emphasized that the average confirmation time for transactions on the Solana network remains around 450 milliseconds, while the p90 metric is below 700 milliseconds, indicating that 90% of all operations are completed faster than this value.

Project founder Anatoly Yakovenko referred to the ongoing situation and the blockchain’s response as a «bullish» factor.

Amidst the attack, the price of SOL dropped by 4% over the last day, currently trading at around $127.

On December 14, the L1 network Sui also experienced a DDoS attack, which resulted in block production delays.

For the second consecutive year, the Solana ecosystem retained its status as the most popular network among global investors in 2025. However, its share of overall interest has noticeably declined, as noted by analysts at CoinGecko.

The metric stood at 26.79%, which is 12% lower than the previous year.

«This reflects the challenges faced by Level 1 blockchains in moving beyond close associations with meme coin speculation and the stagnant price movement of SOL, despite broader institutional adoption marked by the launch of an ETF in the US,» the experts commented.

In second place is the Layer 2 network Base from the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, which saw a decline of 2.9% compared to 2024, dropping from 16.81% to 13.94%. Ethereum blockchain also made it into the top three with a share of 13.43%.

The leaders in growth were Sui and BNB Chain, which took fourth and fifth places respectively.

Over the year, Sui’s share surged by 6.9% to 11.77%, while BNB Chain experienced a 4.9% increase to 9.05%. According to analysts, the latter benefited from the launch of Binance Alpha and the pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao.

It is noteworthy that in December, experts from Glassnode recorded a «liquidity reboot» in Solana.
