Anatoly Yakovenko urges validators to update nodes despite negativity around SOL
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, which is responsible for developing the blockchain of the same name, to plead All validators to update to latest version 1.13.5 of node. According to Yakovenko, the update should fix all Solana network outages caused by overload of the UDP-based protocol.
Previously, this problem had caused prolonged shutdowns of the Solana network, which is still in its test phase. According to Solscan, many of the largest validators in the Solana network have still not been updated. Of all the validators, only 44.53% have been updated to the latest version.
Despite the significant update, the crypto community still has many questions regarding Solana’s performance as a blockchain. Blocking of nodes by big data servers, their centralized storage, prolonged outages and the fact that co-founders have to personally ask validators to be updated raise a lot of questions and further increase mistrust of the blockchain. Huh.
State of Solana network
Earlier in the week, the project team published a snapshot of the state of the Solana network to prove the transparency of operations when most users are concerned about the impact of the FTX collapse.
According to the data presented, the average number of transactions per second is now 2,000. The average block time has also improved and is now around 0.5 milliseconds. On the downside, there has been a decrease in network activity, which is reflected in a decrease in the number of daily programs used.
