The broader Solana ecosystem is known for its constant outages. While it quickly gained fame for its speed and scalability, the early onset of the memecoin explosion in the Solana ecosystem came with significant strain. With massive traffic from memecoin farmers, the protocol recorded intermittent outages .
Phantom Network comes off as the most hit of the DApps on Solana. Over the past year, Phantom Wallet has recorded at least two downtimes, exposing its vulnerability. Each time, the damages done to the broader ecosystem is often minimal as the app generally comes back up in a few hours.
