Developers who operate and maintain the Solana blockchain restarted the crypto network after a technical problem triggered an hours-long slowdown over the weekend.

It is the latest in a series of outages, technical issues, and processing problems that has plagued Solana since its debut in 2020. Last October, the blockchain underwent a similar restart process after a glitch caused a prolonged outage.
