Solana creator announces new update for Sol network

The devs released a new update for the Solana network, to overcome the network outage issues.

Solana is a popular Proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus-based blockchain network, which is known for its high scalability & efficient transactions because of its unique Proof-of-history protocol, which allows the Solana network to hit scalability up to 50k TPS.

On 19 November, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, shared the new Solana network update 1.13.5 and urged all the validators to go with the new update.

At this present time, only 49.5% of validators are running nodes on the latest release, while others are using the old release 1.13.4

This sudden & significant downfall in the price of Sol token happened because of the downfall of FTX, FTXus & Alameda Research-like companies. Alameda was one of the biggest investors in the Solana project & bankruptcy filing by this company imposed high sell pressure on Sol’s token market.

Otherside, FTX token, a native token of bankrupt FTX crypto exchange, faced a very big downfall. Current trade price of FTX is $1.31 and this price is 94% down over the 30 days trade price.
