Anza, a collective of Solana-focused developers, has announced the measures it is taking to mitigate the congestion issues the network has been facing.

Anza stated that it has made significant progress in tackling these problems and hopes to release patches next week. Currently, 70% of users’ transactions in Solana are failing.

Solana Dev Collective Anza Scrutinizing Congestion, Hopes to Deliver Patches Soon

Solana’s popularity is causing congestion in its blockchain. Anza, a Solana-focused development collective, has announced it is tackling the Solana congestion problem and is testing several implementations to fix it.

According to Dune, 7 of every 10 non-voting transactions proposed in Solana fail, making the blockchain function with limited operativity.

Solana wallets like Phantom have started displaying messages explaining this phenomenon to users, detailing that transactions could be delayed or fail. Users have also criticized Solana’s impaired network operativity, declaring their disagreement with the scaling problems faced.

Anza linked this congestion to issues with a particular implementation of QUIC, a widely used internet transport protocol. In addition, it might be partly caused by the behavior of Agave, Anza’s Solana’s validator client, when processing many requests.

Developers have been “working around the clock to diagnose and remedy bottlenecks and increase network performance,” Anza stressed, promising to ship more improvements in the coming months.

Solana Labs’ co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has referred to the issue, explaining that ironing out these problems takes time due to their nature. He stated:

Dealing with congestion bugs sucks so much more than total liveness failure. the latter is one and done, bug is identified and patched and chain continues. the former has to go through the full release and test pipeline.

In addition, Anza is readying an update to its Agave client that includes improvements to its central scheduler. These changes are “dedicated to minimizing conflicting transactions by routing and ordering incoming tx to worker threads to minimize conflicts and improve block packing.”

The Solana Foundation addressed this congestion last month, making a list of recommendations to help users and app developers deal with these woes.
