Solana Network's Success Also Its Challenge, Admits Strategist Austin Federa
Summary:
Austin Federa, the Solana Foundation's chief strategist, admits that their goal of building the world's fastest, open, unrestricted and decentralized network hasn't been fully achieved yet. He attributes the network's congestion issues to its unexpected popularity and acknowledges that Solana's developers should have anticipated the demand spikes. Federa discusses these issues and potential solutions in depth during an interview with Cointelegraph at Paris Blockchain Week.
The ambition of the Solana initiative - to construct the planet's fastest, open, unrestricted and decentralized network - hasn't been fully achieved yet, confesses Austin Federa, the Solana Foundation's chief strategist. "With regard to the user interface, the network is quite distant from our aspirations and predictions," Federa revealed in an interview with Cointelegraph at Paris Blockchain Week.
He attributed the network congestion issues that Solana has encountered to its popularity, which has generated a level of activity on the network beyond what was anticipated. "One could interpret this as a failure due to success because the demand for the Solana block space is immense," he argued, highlighting that Solana manages a greater volume of transactions per second than the sum of Ethereum's first and second layers.
However, Federa conceded, Solana's developers should have predicted and prepared for the increased usage that has affected the network's performance by incorporating the appropriate upgrades beforehand. "Our projections of Solana's demand and the timing needed for the necessary enhancements and fixes did not align," Federa clarified.
