Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, said that
Solana's downtime was due to a malfunction in the BPF (Berkley Packet Filter) 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 metadata from being used in BPF because this metadata is no longer needed. This came from upgrade 0093, but some kind of error occurred inside it. The error was discovered on the testnet and a fix was created but has not yet been implemented. It's speculated that someone manually triggered this error, causing Solana to go down.
