Anatoly Yakovenko is one of the co-founders of Solana. He announced that Solana will make improvements to its software upgrade process. The objective would be to ensure the reliability and availability of the network. He added that last week’s network update 1.14 raised concerns. They are due to maintaining stability during major updates.
What improvements for the Solana network update?
After its latest 1.14 update, the Solana network experienced a serious slowdown on February 25th. It particularly affected the production of blocks. To remedy the situation, the validators had to downgrade to the previous version. In order to make things go better in the future, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder and CEO of Solana Labs, has just published an action plan. According to information relayed by CoinDeskthe main purpose of the plan is to provide stability during network updates.
Prior to 1.14, Solana Core Engineers had to work to resolve issues that affect speed. These were, for example, invalid gas meters or the lack of flow control for transactions. Now, under the new plan, lead engineers will work with external developers and auditors. All will aim to detect the type of failure that occurred on February 25.
What should we expect after the implementation of this new plan?
Solana presents itself as a credible alternative to Ethereum. Transactions on its network are indeed faster. Gas costs are much lower. But the numerous breakdowns known since its launch are scaring away the holders of large Blockchain projects. The CEO acknowledged: The issues with last week’s 1.14 network update made it clear how much of a challenge maintaining stability during these major updates remains. »
So far, we do not know the real reason behind the outage on the Solana network last week. Solana Labs developers are actively working to spot and fix it. But wouldn’t it be better to think about migrating to a whole new generation of Blockchain ?
