VanEck Research Leader: Solana outage was due to BPF loader failure
According to ChainCatcher, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital asset research at VanEck, stated that the Solana outage was due to a failure in the Berkley Packet Filter (BPF) loader, which is the mechanism for deploying, upgrading and executing programs on Solana. This may be related to a previous SMID proposal that added an interceptor to prevent the use of metadata in BPF, as this metadata is no longer needed. This came from the 0093 upgrade, which had some kind of error. This error was noticed on the test net and a fix was created, but it has not been implemented yet due to testing reasons. Some speculate that someone manually triggered this error, causing Solana to crash.
