Phantom Wallet has reported a downtime incident and requested users to remain patient as the team works on resolving the issue.

Phantom Wallet Downtime Incident

On Oct. 28, the Phantom Wallet team announced that the Solana web3 wallet had encountered an “uptime incident.” According to the multi-chain wallet’s development team, some services experienced temporary disruptions.

Users have been advised to use decentralized applications (dapps) for urgent transactions.

“We’re currently experiencing an uptime incident and some services may be temporarily disrupted. If you are in urgent need of making a transaction, please ignore simulation errors and try using a dapp,” the post reads.

Cause of the Incident

According to SolanaFloor, the downtime is attributed to a backend issue related to the Grass Airdrop One. Grass is a Solana-based artificial intelligence data layer that launched its highly-anticipated airdrop on Oct. 28, 2024. The platform’s token distribution also saw it listed on several top-tier crypto exchanges, including Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, and Crypto.com.

Impact on Solana Network

While the airdrop affected Phantom Wallet, the Solana network itself remains operational. The SOL blockchain network maintained 100% uptime at the time of writing, showcasing its resilience compared to frequent downtimes experienced in the past.

“The Solana network maintains 100% uptime as Grass’s token airdrop, the largest in Solana’s history by user participation, is currently underway,” SolanaFloor reports.

Grass Airdrop Participation

SolanaFloor claims that the distribution of the meme coin GRASS is the largest in Solana’s history, given the number of users. The platform reports that 2 million users have sought to trade their GRASS tokens in the past few hours.

Previous Disruptions

In August, the Telegram Wallet and several crypto exchanges experienced disruptions due to the Dogs (DOGS) token. The DOGS disruption persisted for several hours, with Telegram Wallet facing multiple instances of downtime.
