Solana, a modern blockchain and one of the top smart contract platforms, looking at a screen grab shared by one observer on X, has achieved a remarkable milestone.
Solana, a cutting-edge blockchain and a leading smart contract platform, has achieved a remarkable milestone, as highlighted in a recent screen grab shared by an observer on X.
Over the past seven months, the Solana network has maintained an exceptional 100% uptime, a significant achievement that counters the criticism the network has faced since its launch.
Solana Maintains 100% Uptime for 7 Months
This milestone brings Solana closer to achieving the longest streak of uninterrupted periods, underscoring the platform's progress in ensuring stability and reliability.
Typically, Solana, like Ethereum and other public ledgers, is designed to maintain a high uptime, exceeding 99.9%. This is due to the architecture of these networks.
Solana is powered by a group of distributed validators spread across the globe. Even if there are disruptions in a specific region, such as a mass withdrawal of validators, the network is designed to continue operating, powered by the remaining nodes. While this is the ideal scenario, it has not always been the case, especially for newer blockchain models that prioritize high throughput and low fees.
Since their launches, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and most legacy chains have been reliable and have not experienced extended periods offline. However, Solana has faced challenges, particularly during periods of high on-chain transaction activity that strain the online nodes.
Despite recent improvements, there have been periods of inconvenience caused by outages, particularly in 2023. Whenever Solana encounters downtime, it raises questions among analysts regarding the platform's resilience and whether it truly qualifies as a blockchain network.
Earlier this year, in February 2024, Solana encountered an issue where its nodes stopped processing transactions. The outage was reportedly linked to a software flag that was quickly patched.
Firedancer to Enhance Reliability
In response to these concerns and to bolster confidence, the Solana team has been making significant efforts to enhance reliability. Considerable resources and collaborations are dedicated to improving Solana's architecture, ensuring the platform remains online irrespective of on-chain demand.
Among these initiatives, Jump Crypto is building Firedancer, a validator client that introduces a modular design. Once it rolls out in 2025, Firedancer is expected to improve the efficiency of transaction processing, ultimately reducing the likelihood of network failures.
Among the additions expected with Firedancer is the introduction of parallel transaction processing, which will further enhance throughput while simultaneously reducing latency.
