According to PANews, Solana developers are planning to rectify an 'implementation error' that recently led to a surge in Solana transaction failure rates by April 15. Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana's ecosystem development platform Helius, emphasized on platform X that the current issues with Solana (network instability) do not stem from protocol design flaws, but a bug in a specific implementation.
Mumtaz explained that the design of the protocol is like the overall design of a car, while the specific implementation is similar to different car models of various brands. The existence of a problem in a certain brand model does not mean that all cars have design flaws. Solana uses the QUIC network protocol, but the current version of QUIC implementation has some defects and bugs. Therefore, Solana only needs to replace the problematic 'parts', without changing the entire 'car model'.
He revealed that the implementation being developed by Firedancer does not have the same issues. The repair program is expected to be launched on April 15. If other issues are discovered during the testing process, the launch date may be postponed. In addition to technical issues, he believes that Solana also needs to consider long-term economic sustainability factors. After fixing the bug, it can more clearly plan the local cost market and economic incentive measures.
