Deep dives
Improving Network Performance: From Solving Runtime Issues to Managing Congestion
Over the course of Q1, Solana focused on enhancing chain performance by addressing runtime delays and wonky block broadcasting. Subsequently, the system witnessed more stable block times and improved compute efficiency. However, new challenges emerged around congestion during transaction submissions. Initially proposed economic solutions were overshadowed by the revelation of bugs affecting stake-weighted QoS, causing performance issues. Resolving these subtle bugs was crucial, highlighting the need to first address underlying technical issues before revisiting broader economic solutions.
