In a post on Site X, Yakovenko stated that dealing with bugs is more difficult than keeping the network up and running for users.
Yakovenko stated that dealing with bugs is more difficult than dealing with complete viability failures. In the latter case, work is done once, the bug is identified, fixed, and the chain continues. In the former case, you have to go through the entire release and testing pipeline. Fast delivery is impossible.
Yakovenko's statement follows a post by co-founder Raj Gokal on Site X earlier this month describing typical problems in the #Solana chain and the world-class staff to solve them.
A team of world-class engineers are working around the clock on fixes to improve the experience of sending transactions to @solana.I email them several times a day asking how things are going and they reply that they are very helpful in resolving issues.
Since early March, the Solana network has faced a growing number of complaints about persistent transaction problems, including an estimated 77.4 percent bounce rate.
Users, developers and other services deployed on Solana have suffered network outages.
In addition, according to Dune Analytics, more than 70 percent of non-voting transactions have failed since the beginning of April, a marked increase from the 54 percent failure rate recorded in March.
Meanwhile, the Solana Foundation has published a series of measures and recommendations to combat network congestion. These include optimizing compute unit (CU) usage, requiring developers to specify compute unit budgets for transactions to avoid unnecessary resource allocation and improve efficiency.
The Solana team also announced that a major update (v1.18) is planned for April to address congestion issues and improve network performance and reliability.
Solana has recovered from the aftermath of the #FTX crash in 2022, with the price of its native token SOL dropping below $ 10 USD.
