Solana Rolls Out First Update to Address the Problem of Failed Transactions

The price curve and development of Solana (SOL) suffers from the fact that more than half of the transactions on the network fail. Now the developers have released a first update to address the problem.

At Solana (SOL), the topic of failed transactions is depressing the mood

In March, the rate was still around 50 percent – and then rose to 75 percent at times. The failed transactions do not cause any direct financial damage and are not due to critical errors in the Solana network. But for investors and users of SOL, the phenomenon is extremely annoying and one hopes for a solution. In this respect, yesterday’s official post from Solana, which revolves around a technological matter, received a lot of attention.

With version 1.17.31, an update to the typical Solana node software is now available and this should “help alleviate congestion in the Solana network,” it says. However, blockchain data does not yet show a trend reversal, so we will have to wait and see whether the desired effects really materialize. Developers like Rex St. John are already looking at version 1.18, which is in preparation.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is even more cautious and, via In plain language: Solana must be prepared to live with the problem of failed transactions for the time being, even if updates such as version 1.17.31 of the node software address a solution step by step.

The reasons why the Solana network is groaning under overload go in two directions. On the one hand, the boom in Solana memecoins such as BONK and dogwifhat (WIF) is making a significant contribution to increasing transaction numbers – and you don’t want to “strangle” them technologically. The second reason, highly active bots in the SOL ecosystem, needs to be viewed in a more differentiated way – because here it is difficult to distinguish between “spam” and useful instruments from power traders and project developers.

Conclusion: Realism at Solana when it comes to failed transactions

After the release of update 1.17.31, Solana recorded a daily loss of 14 percent and was therefore negative in a weak overall market. Despite the excitement over a minor technological improvement, SOL investors seem to understand that the problem of failed transactions cannot be solved quickly.
