Has the Kaspa network ever experienced a full outage?

Kaspa's network has never gone down due to throughput-related issues. GHOSTDAG, Kaspa's consensus protocol, processes parallel blocks without single points of failure, meaning no one component can bring the whole network to a halt under heavy load. For a beginner, this matters because a payment or transaction network that goes offline is unusable — Kaspa's architecture is designed so that high transaction volume does not create the conditions for a full outage.
