Is Solana Down Right Now?

Solana is a high-throughput layer-1 blockchain that produces a new slot roughly every 400ms. This page reads Solana's latest block from a public RPC to tell you whether the network is producing blocks — or whether it's your wallet or a single node that's failing.

Solana is producing blocks normally — the latest block was 3s ago (based on a public RPC, api.mainnet-beta.solana.com).

What “Solana is down” actually means

For Solana, "down" almost always means the network stopped finalizing slots — a full validator halt that requires a coordinated restart, which has happened a handful of times in Solana's history. It is far more common that the chain is fine and your wallet or a single public RPC node is the thing failing. This page reads the latest slot from a public Solana RPC: if the slot is advancing, the chain is producing blocks regardless of what one app shows you.

If Solana seems down

1
Check the latest slot on an explorer (explorer.solana.com / solscan.io) — if it's climbing, the chain is live and the problem is your wallet or RPC.
2
Switch your wallet's RPC endpoint (Phantom/Solflare → Settings → Network) to a different provider before assuming an outage.
3
Check status.solana.com and @SolanaStatus for an official cluster-restart or degraded-performance notice.
4
A failed transaction with 'blockhash not found' usually means RPC lag, not a halt — retry with a fresh blockhash.
5
During congestion the chain keeps producing slots but drops transactions; raise your priority fee rather than waiting for a 'fix'.

Frequently asked questions

Is Solana down right now?
This page reads Solana's latest block from a public RPC. If the block height shown above is advancing, Solana is producing blocks and is not down. A frozen, non-advancing height means the chain may be halted; an "RPC unreachable" result means we couldn't reach a node — which can be that node rather than the chain itself.
How does WebsiteDown check if Solana is down?
We send a JSON-RPC request to a public Solana endpoint and read the latest slot and its timestamp. If it hasn't advanced past a Solana-specific staleness threshold, we flag it as halted. We don't run a validator, so this is one node's view — confirm with the official status page during an incident.
Is the chain halted, or is it just my wallet or RPC?
Most "is Solana down" moments are a wallet or a single RPC failing, not the chain. If the block height here is climbing, the network is live — switch your wallet's RPC endpoint. Only a frozen, non-advancing block height points to an actual Solana halt.
What should I do if Solana is halted?
There is no user-side fix for a true halt — your funds stay safe on-chain and transactions resume when the network restarts. Follow the official status channels linked above for restart timing instead of repeatedly resubmitting transactions.

WebsiteDown can watch Solana's block height on a schedule and email you if it stops advancing — no need to keep refreshing this page.
