Release of Solana Mainnet Beta Version 1.17.31 to Address Issues with Congestion

in LeoFinance7 months ago

For its mainnet beta, Solana has released a major update (v1.17.31) to alleviate recent network congestion that affected transactions and resulted in delays or failures in 75% of cases. In order to stabilize the network and increase transaction efficiency, this update is essential. It is recommended that Mainnet Beta validators immediately switch to this latest version in order to maintain uninterrupted service and lessen potential future congestion. This release's improvements should greatly reduce network load, demonstrating Solana's dedication to offering a stable and dependable blockchain environment.
The Solana-focused development shop Anza has released the v1.18.11 release to the devnet, addressing the same congestion issues, further supporting this initiative. Two main issues that have been noted are the Agave validator client's performance and the QUIC implementation difficulties. The platform's commitment to growing blockchain technology is demonstrated by Solana's proactive updates, which emphasize improving network performance and user experience. The roadmap includes a move to v1.18 for additional enhancements.
