Some of the Solana projects that waited for congestion resolution included a non-fungible token (NFT) project called Suit Up, altcoin project DuckCoin, and the Solana staking rewards platform Surge Finance.

On April 6, Anza, a software development shop focused on Solana, unveiled its strategy to tackle network congestion with its Solana validator client implementation, Agave.

Preliminary investigations identified problems with QUIC implementation, a transport layer network protocol, as the underlying cause.

Anza engineers, with other core contributors, have been working around the clock to diagnose and remedy bottlenecks and increase network performance. Expect more improvements and changes to roll out over the coming months.

At the time of writing, users have reported experiencing delayed transactions for Solana’s SOL tokens on the crypto exchange Coinbase.

According to the incident report, Solana has been investigating the issue for over eight hours. However, the issues do not affect the trading, fiat withdrawal, and deposit functionalities.
