On August 12, 2026, Solana faced a critical outage when 28.83% of its staked SOL went offline due to a routing fault at infrastructure provider Teraswitch. This brought the network close to its 33.34% delinquency threshold that would halt finality. The fault originated from a faulty route advertised from Teraswitch's Miami site, affecting key data centers in Europe and Asia-Pacific. About 90 validators lost 333 SOL in rewards, which will be covered by validator bonds. The incident highlighted concentration risks as one autonomous system held 27.34% of the stake, exceeding the Solana Foundation's 25% cap. Marinade Finance plans to review concentration limits and improve transparency on validator failover setups to prevent future disruptions.
