Solana developers tackle “durable nonce transaction” bug <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solana's fifth outage of 2022, according to a report issued by Solana Labs on June 5, was triggered by a fault in the “durable nonce transactions feature,” which led the network to stop producing blocks for four and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe durable nonce transaction feature was disabled in releases v1.9.28\/v1.10.23 to prevent the network from halting<\/a> if the same situation were to arise again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Durable nonce transactions will not process until the mitigation is performed and the feature is re-enabled in a future release,” they noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable nonce transactions\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> are a sort of Solana transaction that does not expire, as opposed to a conventional transaction on the network, which has a brief lifetime of roughly 2 minutes until a blockhash becomes too old to be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Solana Documentation, it is typically used to support transactions connected to outlets such as custodial services, which require more time than the standard “to provide a signature for the transaction.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable nonce transactions, according to Solana Labs, require a separate “mechanism to prevent double processing, and are processed serially,” but a runtime bug appeared after a durable nonce transaction was processed as a regular transaction and failed, but was then re-submitted, causing the network to grind to a halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The user resubmitted the identical transaction for processing after the unsuccessful transaction was processed but before the nonce was used again.” The bug <\/a>was activated in the runtime as a result of this resubmission, according to the p report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the mainnet failure on June 1, the price of Solana's native asset SOL has plummeted around 13.9 percent to $39.08 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CoinGecko data, investor interest in the currency has only grown, with 24-hour trading volume<\/a> growing by 61 percent to $2.141 billion in the same time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a larger sense, data from Hello Moon, a Solana-focused analytics platform, shows that the total value moved on-chain (successfully) in terms of a seven-day rolling average has decreased dramatically since late March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reaching record highs of approximately $3.18 trillion on March 24, the amount has fallen to around $159.71 billion as of June 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
