Anza has released an update in version 1.18.11 of its validator client to tackle network congestion issues on Solana. Validator clients play a vital role in proof-of-stake blockchains like Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH), allowing validators to verify transactions and enforce network rules. The recent update from Anza aims to address Solana’s ongoing congestion problems.

Developers are not only improving validator clients but also exploring other strategies to enhance user experiences on the Solana network. These strategies include optimizing computing unit usage, implementing priority fees, and developing stake-weighted quality of service to prioritize transactions more efficiently.

The congestion issues on the Solana network are primarily caused by spam transactions, leading to slower transaction speeds and increased failure rates. Solana’s architecture processes transactions directly without a mempool, exacerbating these problems.

External analyses have highlighted the severe congestion challenges faced by Solana. The popularity of Solana meme coins has worsened network overload, resulting in significant transaction delays and high failure rates. Solana Foundation’s Head of Strategy, Austin Federa, acknowledged these challenges on Twitter but expressed confidence in the network’s ability to overcome setbacks.

Developers from Anza, Firedancer, Jito, and other core contributors are working tirelessly to strengthen Solana’s networking stack to meet the growing demand on the network. Despite the challenges, Solana has shown resilience in handling scalability issues in the past.
