Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko says the past year has been mired by the network’s reliability issues and outages, but recent updates will help the blockchain resolve its reliability issues.Solana has suffered ten partial or full outages, according to its own status reporting, the most notable of which occurred between Jan. 6-12, 2022, with the network plagued with issues causing partial outages and degraded performance for between 8 and 18 hours.The most recent was what it called a “major outage,” lasting nearly six and a half hours on Oct. 1.Yakovenko said after a recent update and the validator count doubling in the past year puts Solana on the path to resolving the network performance issues and added: “[We’re] in a constant fight between performance, security, throughput, and decentralization, all of these problems [...] whenever you improve one you may actually hurt some of the other ones but I think we've done an amazing job in solving a bunch of those.”“Obviously we still have challenges with outages and bugs,” he said, but its August partnership with Web3 development firm Jump Crypto to build Solana’s scaling solution called Firedancer — dubbed the long-term fix to the network outage problem — could hold the key.
