Overview
- Infrastructure provider Pipe Network reported median transaction confirmations near 450 milliseconds with p90 under 700 milliseconds and slot latency at roughly 0–1 slots during the assault.
- Co‑founder Anatoly Yakovenko disclosed the campaign and described it as the network’s worst active threat, suggesting attackers are spending roughly what the chain earns to flood it with traffic.
- Ecosystem figures including Raj Gokal and Mert Mumtaz said the attack has persisted for at least a week without user‑visible impact, extending Solana’s streak of no reported outages since May 2023.
- Key details remain unreported, including the methodology behind the 6 Tbps estimate, the attackers’ identity or motive, and the absence of an official statement from the Solana Foundation.
- The volume places the assault among the year’s larger DDoS events yet below Cloudflare’s 29.7 Tbps and Microsoft Azure’s 15.72 Tbps, with SOL trading around $126–$128 and little immediate price effect noted.
