Solana2026-08-12 11:12:54Solana Nears Halt as 28.83% of Staked SOL Goes Offline, Marinade HighlightsMarinade Finance reported early today that Solana nearly stalled after a routing failure at infrastructure provider Teraswitch knocked 28.83% of staked SOL offline. The number sat just below the 33.34% threshold that could trigger a chain-wide standstill. The incident affected 90 validators and cost roughly 333 SOL in rewards. A faulty route from a Miami node spread to Europe and Asia-Pacific, leaving 12 nodes (LON1, AMS1-3, DUB1-2, FRA2, SGP1-2, TYO1-3) without valid routes. North America was unaffected and the problem was fixed within 10 minutes. Marinade also flagged concentration risk around AS20326, an ASN that hosts more than a quarter of all staked SOL. During the failure, 94% of its stake went offline at once, equal to 27.34% of total staked SOL and above SFDP's 25% cap. The second-largest validator, Helius, stayed offline for 33 minutes, with only a few nodes achieving clean failover. Marinade said it will review its staking concentration ceiling and push validators to publicly disclose failover capabilities.1600
