Solana suffers third 'congestion issue,' another DDoS attack?
Solana, the world's fifth-biggest cryptocurrency, has seen a very optimistic 2021 and entered 2022 with huge shoes to fill in. Investors are putting their money on the proof-of-history consensus-based network, which suffered another 'congestion issue' recently. This is the third issue in a few months which investors believe to be another DDoS attack.
Solana suffers another issue
Solana suffered another issue which caused a network outage and several failed transactions. The crypto community pointed out that the outage was mainly due to network congestion, while some believe that this was the work of a Distributed Denial of Service attack or DDoS.Colin Wu, a prominent member of the crypto Twitter and a well-known Chinese journalist, pointed out this development. Wu said in his tweet that as per the members of the official Telegram community of Solana, a DDoS attack was implemented by spamming the network, causing an outage.
"It was fixed after 7 o'clock (UTC+8) and returned to normal," said another tweet from Wu.
Failed transactions
Coinbase, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, posted about the network outage on January 4th and said that the issue had been resolved. On the other hand, a Reddit group commented on the incident wherein users shared screenshots of failed SOL transactions.Many people in the Telegram group talked about missing tokens, failed transactions, and other grievances. However, the official SOL status page at the time said that the network did not go down while Coinbase did suspend withdrawals for the network.
Reddit users called out SOL, which recently celebrated the Solana Solstice 2021, for this incident calling this a breach of the decentralized nature of any blockchain-based platform. There was no official tweet from the platform about this development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
