Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, the Solana ecosystem development platform, explained the reason for Solana's recent network instability on social media. He pointed out that Solana's current problems are not due to protocol design flaws, but rather bugs that have appeared in specific implementations. Solana uses the QUIC network protocol, but the current implementation version of QUIC has some flaws and errors. Protocol design is like the overall design of a car, while specific implementation is like different models of cars from different brands. The fact that a certain brand and model has a problem does not mean that all cars have design flaws. Solana only needs to replace the problematic "parts" without changing the entire "model". He revealed that the implementation being developed by Firedancer does not have the same problem. The fix is expected to be released on April 15th, and if other issues are found during the testing process, the launch time may be delayed. In addition to technical issues, the CEO believes that Solana also needs to consider long-term economic sustainability factors, and can more clearly plan the local fee market and economic incentive measures after fixing bugs.
