Solana under fire, still standing.

Solana under fire, still standing.
A massive DDoS attack is hitting Solana, yet the chain keeps running smoothly. Stress test mode — and it’s passing.
I’ve been watching this unfold like a storm over the Med 🌊
For more than a week now, Solana has been eating a DDoS attack peaking around 6 Tbps. That’s not “some bots spamming” — that’s the kind of traffic you usually associate with attacks on Google Cloud or AWS. Historically, blockchains were supposed to crumble under that. Solana didn’t.
Blocks keep producing. Transactions keep flowing. No drama, no restart, no panic. If you were around in earlier cycles, you know how unthinkable that sounded not so long ago.
Anatoly called it bullish, and honestly… I get it. Someone out there is literally burning money just to send bits at the network, spending roughly what the chain itself earns. That’s adversarial stress at full scale — and the system is holding.
This doesn’t mean Solana is perfect. But it does mean the architecture is maturing fast. Real usage, real attacks, real resilience. That’s how infrastructure grows up, not in quiet testnets but under pressure.
From my terrace, this feels less like a crisis and more like a rite of passage. C’est du solide.
