​​Solana (SOL) founder announces an important blockchain update

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, which is responsible for the development of the eponymous blockchain, urged all validators to update to the latest version of the 1.13.5 node. According to Yakovenko, the update should fix all failures in the Solana network caused by UDP-based protocol overload.

Previously, the problem caused long outages on the Solana network, which is still in the testing phase. According to Solscan, many of the largest validators on the Solana network have not yet been updated. Of all the validators, only 44.53% have been updated to the latest version.

Despite the important update, the cryptocommunity still has a number of questions about Solana's performance as a blockchain. The blocking of nodes by large data servers, their centralized storage, the long downtime, and the fact that the co-founder personally has to ask validators for updates raise a lot of questions and further increase distrust of the blockchain.
