Solana Clocks 30 Months Straight Without a Network Halt
Solana has achieved an impressive milestone by maintaining 100% uptime for 30 months straight, dating back to February 2024. This achievement is significant given its past struggles with network reliability.
The blockchain's engineers have been working on improvements, including a redesigned transaction scheduler and stake-weighted quality of service (SWQoS) to manage transaction traffic. These upgrades have helped the network handle high stress without halting operations.
Solana has seen record-breaking single-day transaction volumes and over $4.7 trillion in stablecoin transfers in the past year, making its reliability all the more impressive. As a result, institutions like Western Union and Franklin Templeton are integrating Solana for financial applications.
