Fantom Creator Backs Solana Amid Transaction Issues

Andre Cronje, the creator of Fantom, supports Solana despite recent transaction failures on the network.

The congestion issues on Solana are due to its rapid growth, which has increased demand for block space.

Cronje sees these issues as technical challenges, not flaws in Solana's consensus mechanism.

Around 75% of non-vote transactions failed on Solana on April 4, mainly due to increased activity driven by meme coins.

Solana has experienced several outages since January 2022, with the recent one caused by a bug in its Just-in-Time compilation cache.
