“# Solana network faces degraded performance for the second time this week <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Solana blockchain has faced its second network performance degradation incident<\/a> this week. According to Solana, this is happ<\/a>ening because of a rise in high compute transactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a result, the network capacity, which was originally advertised to be 50,000 transactions per second (TPS), was reduced to several thousand TPS. Solana cited this as the reason why users experienced failed transactions and added that its developers are already working to fix the issues.<\/p>\n

This latest network issue came only a few days after a similar incident\u00a0on Tuesday, where users experienced the same problems. Many speculated that the Tuesday incident was due to a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, but Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko responded<\/a> on Twitter<\/a>, saying that it\u2019s just the \u201cpain of getting a new runtime commercialized.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid these recent events, Cyber Capital chief investment offic Justin Bons expressed<\/a> his disapproval with Solana and published a series<\/a> of tweets enumerating the reasons why he doesn\u2019t support the project. Bons claims that Solana is \u201cconsistently displaying a pattern of bad behavior\u201d and \u201cprioritizing attracting ignorant investors over good blockchain design.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bons also criticized the security of the network, mentioning that DDoS attacks are not the only concern. He said that DDoS can be combined with a 51% attack. With this, he claims that attackers can \u201ctemporarily gain proportional-staked control over the network by attacking other stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yakovenko dismissed<\/a> this as \u201cexhausting nonsense,\u201d stating, \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to DDoS a private key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Solana was\u00a0hit by a DDoS attack causing a similar effect\u00a0and degrading the network\u2019s performance. Solana Labs head of communications Austin Federa\u00a0said that the outage came after a number of transactions during an initial DEX offering \u201clanded in a Solana block that took an excessive amount of compute power.\u201d \u201cCompute for those kinds of transactions wasn\u2019t properly metered by the network, and caused blocks to take much longer to process than the network expected,\u201d Federa stated.<\/p>\n
