The project said infrastructure misconfiguration and access-control problems disrupted operations without affecting the protocol or user assets, while staged recovery restored minting, claims, RPC services and block production.
Solana Optimistic Network, or SOON, said a July 12 security incident disrupted its operating environment and led it to pause the sequencer and related services, but did not affect the protocol, the sequencer itself, user smart contracts or user assets. The project attributed the issue to infrastructure misconfiguration and access-control problems. Recovery proceeded in phases, with NFT minting and token claims resuming on July 21 and mainnet RPC services and block production returning to normal on July 27. The update adds detail to SOON's earlier account that no user funds were lost and indicates normal network operations have now resumed after the temporary shutdown.
