— X (Twiter) Solana Status (@SolanaStatus) April 15, 2024
Update prioritizes transactions from high-stake validators, preventing network flooding. Recommended for MainnetBeta validators to alleviate congestion.
Surge in meme coin trading has heightened congestion concerns, with March transactions reaching US$4 billion.
Developers plan further updates, including version 1.18 testing, to address congestion. Trading bots contribute to "failed" transactions, complicating network issues.
Solana hopes update will ease congestion, demonstrating commitment to network performance.
