Solana developers are working on a plan to implement a fix for an implementation bug that caused the non-vote transaction failure rate to skyrocket to over 75% last week. The blockchain infrastructure firm Helius Labs, which provides back-end support to the Solana network, said the problem is not caused by a design flaw but by an implementation bug.
Helius Labs’ CEO Mert Mumtaz explained, “It is important to make this distinction because implementation errors are usually trivial [while] design errors are generally serious and more fundamental.”
Data for April 4 shows that over 75% of non-vote Solana transactions failed, but this number dropped to 64.8%. According to Mumtaz, the problem could be how Solana developers implemented a Google-developed data transfer protocol, QUIC.
If the testing improves and gives a satisfactory result, the fix will be implemented on April 15. As part of this, QUIC will be reconfigured on April 15. Mumtaz noted that it will eventually be replaced with a superior solution.
“Solana is known in the cryptocurrency space because of the incredibly short processing times the blockchain offers. Solana’s hybrid protocol allows for significantly decreased validation times for both transaction and smart contract execution. With lightning-fast processing times, Solana has attracted much institutional interest,” CoinMarket Cap says.
Solana network’s current market value is $78.20 billion.
