Phantom

Phantom Wallet has reported a downtime incident and asked its users to be patient as the team works to resolve the issue.
On Oct. 28, the Phantom Wallet team <a href="https://x.com/phantom/status/1850905912573141283" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted on X</a> that the Solana (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/">SOL</a>) web3 wallet had encountered an “uptime incident.” According to the multi-chain wallet’s developer team, some services were temporarily disrupted.
Users have been advised to use decentralized applications if they need to make 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 on X reads.
</blockquote>
According to SolanaFloor, the Phantom Wallet downtime is due to a backend incident 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.

While the airdrop has impacted Phantom Wallet, the Solana network itself remains online. The SOL blockchain network maintained 100% uptime at the time of writing, demonstrating resilience compared to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/solana-blockchains-frequent-downtimes-are-investors-giving-up-on-the-ethereum-killer/">frequent downtimes</a> that hit a few years back.

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.
In August, the Telegram Wallet and a host of crypto exchanges saw <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/dogs-airdrop-disrupted-telegram-wallet-and-exchange-services/">disruptions</a> as the Dogs (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/dogs/">DOGS</a>) token. The DOGS disruption persisted for several hours, with Telegram Wallet experiencing multiple instances of downtime.
