Solana developers have successfully addressed a critical security vulnerability in the network through a coordinated patching process. The vulnerability was managed discreetly, with over 70% of the network's stake patched before public disclosure, including securing 66.6% of the stake initially. This strategic move involved developers, validators, and client teams working together to secure the blockchain and prevent potential network failure. The process began on August 7, when Solana Foundation specialists contacted major network operators, ensuring a supermajority of the network's stake was protected before the vulnerability was publicly disclosed.
