Solana Network Bug Fix Scheduled for April 15 🐞
Solana developers have targeted April 15 to implement a fix for the recent bug issue causing a surge in transaction failures. The network encountered significant disruption, with over 75% of non-vote transactions failing due to an implementation bug in Solana’s utilization of the QUIC protocol.
Solana Network Faces Implementation Bugs, Not Design Flaws, According to Helius Labs CEO 🐜
Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius Labs, emphasized the distinction between implementation bugs and design flaws within the Solana network. He reassured the community that addressing implementation issues is more straightforward compared to tackling fundamental design flaws. Mumtaz compared Solana’s bug issue to the need for a “tire change” in a car rather than a complete redesign.
– Solana experienced a surge in transaction failures on April 4, peaking at over 75% of non-vote transactions failing.
– Mumtaz explained that Solana’s implementation of QUIC, a data transfer protocol, was the root cause of the problem.
– The comparison to car design highlights the variability in implementations despite common baseline components.
Solana Community Raises Concerns Over Network Congestion and Transaction Errors 🚨
