Failure resistance in considered to be an important feature of the blockchain technology. Common knowledge says that a blockchain network doesn't rely on a central authority and doesn't have a single failure.
However, we observe blockchain-solutions which fail on a regular basis due to various reasons. The notorious example here is Solana.
Solana rely on central authority which is its developer lol. Its official site claimed to have more than 2400 validator nodes but the blockchain was always getting restarted and that means solana blockchain was true centralized blockchain. Is not it failure resistance was only applicable for truly decentralized blockchain like bitcoin? So many times solana blockchain got network outage
What is wrong here? Is it true that blockchain networks are failure resistant?
Nothing wrong here. The only wrong thing is you are taking solana as an example caused by basically solana was just a centralized blockchain that fully under control by its developers.
The only blockchain is very often to be restarted by its developers
Developers who operate and maintain the Solana blockchain restarted the crypto network after a technical problem triggered an hours-long slowdown over the weekend.
