In a thread shared on X, Justin Bons -Founder and Cyber Capital’s Chief Investment Officer, a fund that he describes as Europe’s oldest cryptocurrency fund – excludes a pointed criticism of Solan blockchain. He Was accused Financed from many flaws, including frequent network outages, centralizing pressure through demand for hardware requirements, and what he sees as a non-natural model that sacrifices reliability for speed.
Solana has flaws, but still leading
Bons admitted that Solana had shown improvement over time – especially in addressing the outage – still emphasized that the blockchain “should never go down,” even in the experimental stages. He attracted attention to the trend of “important crowd events” as a result of issues with network scheduling bugs and quick protocols, while also emphasizing that sandwiches and MEVs (maximum extractable value) are a “unresolved problem” industry-wide.
Bons described Solan’s hardware demands especially cumbersome: “The biggest hardware cost ever is RAM, which has 256GB EC memory! It spends thousands of dollars … “Although the high cost of advancing these obstacles, Bon admitted that it continues to maintain over 1,400 verifications.
He criticized what he believes as a “broken local fee market”, who humiliates user experiences, but expresses optimism that these issues will be resolved this year. Regarding Solan’s non-Nitual design, Bons argued that it makes “less than 1% of TX failure”, but is called a structural disability and waste. He also questioned the continuous sponsors of the verification by the Solana Foundation, given that it was valuable during the initial growth of Solana, “The time has come when it should be closed … Sool can now stand on its own. Is.”
Nevertheless, Bons made it clear that he has gone to “supporter” from being a critic, “Sol is an permitted and adequate decentralized blockchain … BTC and ETH cannot provide this service on a scale. And this is the reason that Sol is having lunch and taking a cipherpank torch.
The comment inspired the direct response of the Solana Community Developer Joao Mendonka, who highlighted the continuous discovery of blockchain performance sometimes leads to close-breaking challenges. Mendonka said, “Solana is carrying forward every border known for this industry … It is still a> 99.9% uptime, with a record of more than one year without any stagnation without block production. “
They believe that additional topical “accidents” are possible until the network has many software clients – currently, most of the stake runs on the same customer – yet she ensured that Solana developed that Solana developed Have continued to do. Mendonka also addressed the alleged centralization, saying that high hardware requirements do not necessarily disrupt the ability of users to run nodes for verification.
According to him, the node configuration can be taken away for more minor needs for those who only need to track the chain, reducing obstacles for comprehensive participation. He said that all major blockchain bootpstrap verification appoints the same incentive to Solan’s Foundation-Finance Program Program to help the network, given that the Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP) already reduced from a total of 20% The share increased to about 12%.
Bons replied that, while the presence of many customers can actually reduce future network downtime, such outage should not be excuses. He also reiterated doubts about Solana’s non-Nitual approach, arguing that it leads to an “optimistic model” rather than an optimistic model, which he believes that the transaction reduces reliability.
Mendonka pushed back, suggesting that Solana’s design “preference the user speed, the developer’s pain … just how it should be,” and that the possible state stops corruption when stopping the system. Get up, at least until many customers can secure network excesses. ,
At the press time, Sol traded at $ 192.
