    Solana (SOL) is an integrated, open-source blockchain with the goal of synchronizing global information at the speed of light. Solana optimizes for latency and throughput, sacrificing some verifiability. It seeks to accomplish this through features such as its novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), block propagation protocol Turbine, and parallel transaction processing. Since mainnet launch in March 2020, several network upgrades have brought further network performance and resilience, including QUIC, stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS), and local fee markets.

  • Solana’s Outage and Future — CoinShares’ Perspective

    Recently Solana experienced its first outage in over 11 months. An infinite loop was propagated across the network’s validators due to a faulty implementation inside of the core software via the Berkley Packet Filter which is the mechanism to deploy, upgrade and execute programs on Solana. Block production halted, impeding the chain’s progress (in layman’s terms, it went offline). Validators then manually verified, inside of a Google Sheet, a snapshot of the last valid block. For the chain to restart, at least 80% of validators began running the patched software for blocks to be added to the chain.

  • The Solana Ecosystem

    We started the year with a note on belonging. I felt inspired to write about this because of our work on two protocols, one of which today’s issue covers extensively. In mid-to-late 2022, Solana was the industry’s darling due to its figureheads. SBF’s overarching influence on its ecosystem could not be understated. But in the following months, as FTX collapsed, so did the Solana ecosystem.
