Solana Set for Crucial Update to Tackle Network Congestion
Solana developers are set to roll out a crucial update on April 15 to address network congestion, prompted by a surge in transaction failures attributed to an "implementation bug," according to Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz.
Mumtaz clarified that the issue lies in the implementation of the QUIC protocol, not Solana’s design.
SOL researcher Richard Patel noted that alternative implementations like Firedancer do not share the same vulnerabilities, suggesting a targeted approach for resolution.
Matt Sorg from the Solana Foundation highlighted the network’s vulnerability to spam overload due to its direct transaction processing model.
