The Solana network withstands a massive DDoS attack at 6 terabits per second without any interruption. The Solana blockchain network was subjected to a persistent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack last week, peaking at around 6 terabits per second (Tbps), making it one of the largest recorded attacks in history and ranking fourth among attacks on distributed systems. Despite the intensity of the attack, which equates to billions of packets per second, the network experienced no noticeable impact, with transaction confirmations remaining under one second, and slot latency (slot latency) stabilized, with no outages, block losses, or congestion affecting users or validators. It is believed that the attack aimed to disrupt Solana's annual Breakpoint conference, but it completely failed thanks to recent engineering improvements, such as enhanced QUIC protocol handling, parallel processing, and the distributed infrastructure of validators. Ecosystem contributors, including co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, confirmed that this event demonstrates the maturity of Solana's defenses compared to previous congestion issues, and some in the community considered it "very positive" (bullish) because it proves the network's ability to withstand intense pressures in reality. However, the identities and motives of the attackers remain unknown, as DDoS attacks on blockchains have become more common with increasing value. This real-world test highlights Solana's strength in facing major cyber threats, boosting confidence in its infrastructure. #GateLaunchpadKDK
