Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko claims the network is facing an industrial-scale 6 Tbps DDoS attack that has shown little visible impact.
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and several accounts tied to the network’s ecosystem said this week that Solana had been hit by a large distributed denial-of-service attack, with some posts citing traffic that peaked near six terabits per second (Tbps).
Yakovenko wrote in a Dec. 9 X post that Solana was under a six Tbps distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. Earlier on Tuesday, Solana Labs co-founder and president Raj Gokal suggested the attack was still ongoing. Cointelegraph was unable to independently verify the attack or its scale.
Also on Tuesday, the CEO of Solana-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project Pipe Network, David Rhodus, pointed out that the shared metric put the attack at an “industrial-scale.” In an update, Pipe Petwork also claimed that the attack was “one of the largest in internet history,” as six Tbps “translates to billions of packets per second.”
