Solana is diligently tackling ongoing challenges related to a surge in failed transactions on its network, striving to enhance the transaction experience for users.

In a recent tweet on X, Solana co-founder Raj Gokal highlighted the network's efforts to resolve transaction submission issues promptly. He emphasized continuous communication with the engineering teams contributing to solutions.

Similarly, Anatoly Yakovenko, another Solana co-founder, acknowledged the complexity of addressing network congestion challenges, reflecting on the rigorous process required to resolve such issues and maintain network stability.

The escalating number of failed transactions on Solana has raised concerns among users, with data indicating that over 70% of non-voting transactions since the beginning of the month have experienced failures. This is a significant increase from the 54% failure rate observed during the same period last month.

The decrease in transaction success rates has prompted dissatisfaction and complaints from users regarding the deteriorating transaction quality and overall user experience on the Solana network.

Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius Labs and a proponent of Solana, attributed the rise in failed transactions to trading bots, stating that approximately 95% of these failures are linked to such bots. He noted that user transactions are often dropped before being confirmed on-chain, emphasizing the need to address spam transactions to improve economic activity and enhance the network's quality and efficiency.
