Solana Foundation Run RPCs go offline, Exec weighing up

"Mainnet Beta Explorer and Public RPC endpoints of the Solana Foundation are currently offline because the RPC node software is updated according to an error in trial 1.14. The block production has not been impaired and the Solana network was not impaired."

• The error only affected the RPCs operated by the foundation, while the private RPCs offered by companies such as Triton, Quicknode and Alchemy, on the other hand.
• Austin Federa, Head of Strategy & Communications of the Solana Foundation, made it clear that the RPCs concerned only represent a tiny subset of the RPC infrastructure of Solana:

"The RPCs of the Solana Foundation are a very installed service that is not intended for production purposes, but only for testing and occasional use. The RPC infrastructure of the Solana Foundation is deliberately up to date with the latest state of the public-to find errors in situations with a low impact."

• Solana suffered a handful of failures and transaction stops last year in the middle of the devastating crypto winter, which pulled the price of Sol down.
• The year 2023, however, started quite positively for the native token. In fact, Sol experienced the best first week of the year from all top 20 crypto assets after market capitalization.
• in the last 24 hours alone, Sol has increased by 22 % and is currently being traded at over $ 16.
