Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said that in order to solve the Solana network congestion problem, the Solana development team is designing effective solutions and software patches are also under development, but it will take some time. The version 1.18 update, scheduled for release in April, will introduce enhancements to make transaction scheduling more deterministic, with the goal of simplifying the processing process and reducing bottlenecks.
The current congestion may extend to the network's infrastructure, affecting users' ability to interact with the blockchain. In this regard, Anza, the developer of Solana's Agave validator client, will launch fixes to address specific issues related to the QUIC implementation. These updates are expected to improve the performance of the client, especially when a large number of requests are involved.
