Helius CEO: Solana network issues are not design flaws, fix expected to be released on April 15

Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana's ecological development platform Helius, posted on the X platform that Solana's current problems (network instability) are not due to protocol design flaws, but to bugs in specific implementations. Mert Mumtaz explained that the design of the protocol is like the overall design of a car, while the specific implementation is similar to car models of different brands. Problems with a certain brand model do not mean that all cars have design flaws. Solana uses the QUIC network protocol, but the QUIC implementation version currently used has some defects and bugs. So 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 launched on April 15, and if other problems are found during testing, the launch time may be delayed. In addition to technical issues, he believes that Solana also needs to consider long-term economic sustainability factors, and can plan local fee markets and economic incentives more clearly after fixing the bugs.
