I saw a video recently saying that about 1 in 10 user transactions are approved on Solana, the others are rejected (while paying the transaction fee). The majority of the approved transactions on Solana are governance (voting) transactions, which have priority, the guy said in the video. He showed charts and didn't look good.
He also said that he had some funds on Solana which he tried to move for a few weeks, a couple of times a day, and his transactions have always been rejected, until he finally made it.
How do you see this, as someone who uses Solana certainly more than I do? I usually check my Solana wallet once a month at the beginning of the month when I check all my holdings, no matter how small they are. 😀
I would say that there are some transactions that don't pass but I think the ratio that you mention here is not really accurate. In my experience about 1 out of 3 transactions don't pass and it depends much on the saturation of the network. If they bring out trump tokens, it tends to congest everything lol
Maybe his charts were from around this period with trump and melania token launches and whatever else makes people want to congest their network further than usually.
Is it possible maybe he tried to pass transactions with a minimum/lower fee or something like that, instead of a regular fee? I don't remember if Solana has adjustable fee levels or it's one fee.
