Solana Co-Founder Says 'Long-Term Fix' to Network Outages Is in the Works
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko knows that Solana’s outages concern its users. But a solution for the network could be on the horizon. “This has been the biggest challenge for us, and the number one priority,” Yakovenko told Decrypt on the most recent episode of the gm podcast.
The young proof-of-history, proof-of-stake hybrid blockchain has had five major outages since its launch in 2020. Out of those five, three have occurred this year—each one the result of either bugs in Solana’s code or the network becoming overwhelmed by artificial traffic from bots. Jump Crypto hopes Firedancer will dramatically scale Solana, allowing it to handle more transactions in a more efficient manner within the next one to two years.
