This breakthrough comes after a period of rigorous technical refinements and enhancements by the Solana team.
As a result, block production has returned to normal with transaction confirmation times dramatically reduced to under two seconds.
Consistent Upgrades for a Resilient Network
Solana is renowned for its capacity to handle thousands of TPS, rivaling top payment networks. However, it faced challenges in the past with network congestion, which led to delays and increased transaction costs. These issues troubled the Solana community, impacting scalability and user experience.
The resolution of these congestion issues marks a turning point. Solana now consistently processes transactions at a rate of 2700 TPS. This performance level not only restores confidence among existing users and developers but also positions Solana as an even more attractive platform for new projects and applications in the DeFi, gaming, and NFT sectors.
We’ve overcome the Solana TX delivery issues! Confirmation times are under 2 seconds, and slot latency is two or less. Never fade the determination & hard work of @anza_xyz, @jito_labs, @MRGNGroup, @fd_ripatel, @triton_one, @linuskendall, @_fanatid, & @immaterial_ink. 🪡🧵 pic.twitter.com/8zXxODfLS8
