> the whole network is down for maintenance

"decentralized finance"

Bitcoin's network cannot be stopped by anyone. How does Solana achieve that? What does "decentralized" even mean when everything depends on individual operators?

If you had quoted the whole sentence you would've seen it's Wormhole that's down for maintenance and not Solana. Bridges aren't fully on-chain by definition and even if they were just a smart contract you can definitely have a pause clause in your code.

Solana has been down a lot too https://status.solana.com/

tfw "maintenance" is actually just "still in development"
