Review of update process
Solana Labs, which develops the blockchain for the crypto asset (virtual currency) Solana (SOL), released a report on the 1st regarding the trouble that occurred last week. While the cause is still under investigation, measures have been put in place to prevent a recurrence.
In order to maintain network stability during updates, we have announced that we will add cross-checks by a team of developers with different positions.
On February 25th, Solana Blockchain performed a network update to 1.14 with the aim of improving processing speed and scalability. rice field.
Solana Labs first announced that it would use additional external developers and auditors to test and uncover exploits during the software release process. Currently, the development team of Jump Crypto, which is building Solana’s validator client “Firedancer”, and Mango DAO, which is developing a Solana building tool, are assumed.
In addition, traditionally only core engineers have implemented integration tests, but this will also be multi-layered. A new adversarial team consisting of approximately one-third of Solana Labs’ core engineering team will be formed to conduct vulnerability checks for the entire protocol.

Adding a Solana Client
Regarding the medium- to long-term vision, Solana Labs pointed out that it has been working with third-party engineering teams to improve the network for some time. The purpose of these efforts was to add “strengthening stability.”
Specifically, the second type of Solana client “Firedancer” currently under construction is expected to be one of the important solutions. Development of the Firedancer began in August 2010, and at the time it was reported that it would take about a year to complete.
In decentralized networks, “client diversity” is important to enhance network security, resilience, and censorship resistance. For reference, Ethereum (ETH) has less than 33% share for each client.



Solana co-founder talks about what is the solution to the network pause problem?
Cryptocurrency Solana and blockchain co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has spoken out about the latest network outage.


Solana has experienced several network outages in the last year. The main reason is the occurrence of large-scale transactions originating from bots, which has caused large-scale remittance blockages on the mainnet.
Solana Labs has changed the communication protocol from UDP to QUIC to avoid network delays derived from these bots. In the future, we have indicated a policy to introduce measures such as (1) addition of stake weight QoS for prioritizing transactions, (2) a “fee market” that raises fees as demand increases, and (3) improvements to reduce the load on RPC infrastructure.
