Mastercard Teaming With Solana, Polygon on New Crypto Credential Standards

Mastercard is teaming with public blockchain developers Aptos Labs, Ava Labs, Polygon and The Solana Foundation on a new set of standards it's dubbing Crypto Credential in an effort to build the trust of consumers, businesses and governments in the sector.

"Instilling trust in the blockchain ecosystem is a critical step towards realizing its full potential," Mastercard head of crypto and blockchain Raj Dhamodharan said in a statement. "We need a way for trusted, compliant, and verifiable interactions to take place on public blockchain networks."

Mastercard Crypto Credential "will establish a set of common standards and infrastructure that will help attest trusted interactions among consumers and businesses using blockchain networks," the company said, noting that NFT projects require different verification requirements than those needed to send or receive cryptocurrency.

State of Solana Q1 2024

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.
