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.
What is wrong here? Is it true that blockchain networks are failure resistant?
Or, alternatively, is it true that we misclassify some blockchain-solutions and put a wrong label on a product? What is your opinion?
It is not, but it has proven so far that it could have failure and still go on. Being failure resistant means it can't fail, we have seen it fail and that is a terrible thing if you can't recover from it, like for example Luna failed and it failed, it didn't recover from that and it has been one of the reasons why bitcoin is low today.
However, SOL fails and then it recovers, acts as if nothing happened, and the community keeps supporting it no matter what happens to SOL as well. This is why I have to say that it is as close to failure resistant as it gets. Not exact meaning of failure resistant, but it is basically recovery-likely or whatever new word we can come up with for this situation
