Solana TPS went from 5000 to 90 more or less halting all activity, developers and validators don't know why this is happening. They are hoping a server restart will fix this.

Quote:Infrastructure operators on the Solana network rushed to right the struggling blockchain early Saturday after a tech issue throttled users’ ability to trade crypto, transfer assets, or do anything on-chain.
The blockchain started “forking” (creating conflicting versions of its transaction history) at around 00:53 New York time, according to Solana’s Discord server. Shortly after that validators’ RAM began increasing while the chain’s transaction throughput fell off a cliff.
Those tech troubles combined to effectively freeze nearly all on-chain activity on the Solana network. By 02:00, the network was processing about 93 transactions per second (TPS), well below the rate near 5000 TPS some 15 minutes prior, according to the data site Solana Explorer.
