Solana Achieves 100% Uptime Since February, Reports Performance Improvement
The Solana Foundation has released a performance report that highlights the network’s significant improvement in uptime and voting-to-non-voting transactions. Since February, the network has achieved 100% uptime, marking a quarter without outages. This is a significant improvement from a single outage in February that knocked the network offline for nearly 20 hours. Solana has also seen advancements in the ratio of voting to non-voting transactions, as well as more consistent block times. The network’s performance is measured using transactions per second (TPS), and it currently stands at an impressive 3,777 TPS.
Key Points:
- Solana achieves 100% uptime since February, with no outages recorded.
- Improvements in the ratio of voting to non-voting transactions.
- Consistent block times, except during the previous outage.
- Increased transactions per second (TPS), currently at 3,777 TPS.
- Advancements in state compression, reducing costs significantly.
The Solana Foundation plans to introduce upgrades in Q3 to further improve block finalization times and discourage delayed voting. They have also recently introduced Solang, a developer tool that addresses differences between the Solana and Ethereum blockchain ecosystems. Despite these advancements, the price of Solana’s native token, SOL, has seen a decline of 4.4% on the day.
Hot Take: Solana’s consistent uptime and performance improvements are a testament to the network’s dedication to addressing previous issues. With plans for further upgrades and developer tools, Solana continues to position itself as a reliable and efficient blockchain platform.
