A concerning Cardano report<\/a>\u00a0emerged online after Tom Stokes, co-founder of Node Shark\u00a0and a Cardano stake pool operator, tweeted that half of Cardano nodes went offline hours ago.<\/p>\n “A few hours ago, over half of all Cardano nodes went offline. This is why decentralization matters.”<\/p>\n There are reports that half of Cardano nodes went offline a few hours ago. The report claim the affected nodes were ‘public’ whereas the ‘private’ nodes remained online. Is this true? @IOHK_Charles<\/a> @timbharrison<\/a> @InputOutputHK<\/a> @adamKDean<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kappa Nupe (@donbap) January 22, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to the network synchronization chart Stokes posted, the network sync suddenly fell from 100%, where it had usually been, to slightly above 40% in the early hours of Sunday for over 300 reporting nodes.<\/p>\n The network sync immediately recovered back to around 87% after the drop, according to Stokes’ chart. A high-performance network is demonstrated by the original network synchronization rate of 100%. The reason for the sudden network disruption remains unknown.<\/p>\n A Cardano-focused Twitter account\u00a0Cardano Whale<\/a>\u00a0debunked the report that half of the nodes went offline. “No, not true,” he said in response to a user. He added, ”Block production kept going but was slowed down for a few minutes, the network did what it’s supposed to do. There are no private nodes on Cardano.”<\/p>\n The Cardano node is the core component that underpins the Cardano network. Simply put, a blockchain network is just a collection of interconnected nodes, all working together to validate transactions and create blocks utilizing consensus.<\/p>\n Stake pools use the Cardano node to validate how the pool interacts with the network and are responsible for transaction processing and block production.<\/p>\n\n
Cardano reputed as one of\u00a0most stable networks<\/h2>\n
