Solanine rastoče bolečine

Solana (SOL) surged 350% between August 7 and September 7. In the past two weeks alone, the native token of the red-hot Ethereum alternative obrnil Dogecoin in then XRP to become the No. 6 cryptocurrency by market cap.

But then on Tuesday, the Solana network went down. The 17-hour outage sent SOL padanje 16%.

Ustanovitelj Solane Anatolij Jakovenko tweeted da je do izpada prišlo zaradi botov, ki so "preplavili omrežje" med IDO (prvotna ponudba DEX) za žeton z imenom Grape on Raydium, decentralizirano borzo, zgrajeno na omrežju Solana. V odgovor na uporabnika Solane, ki je vprašal: "Prosim, povejte Raydiumu, naj ne dela več FCO -ja [prvi pride, prvi služi] IDO," Yakovenko skomignil z rameni: "Ne, samo popraviti moram napake. Del življenja. " Pozneje je pomislil, da je bolje, da se je izpad zgodil zdaj, kot kasneje, ko ima Solana milijardo uporabnikov.

To je občudovanja vreden optimizem. Toda, ali bo Solana kdaj prišel do milijarde uporabnikov, je velik vprašaj. Te dni v kripto deželi novi projekti nastajajo tako rekoč čez noč, žeton se vname in kaj se zgodi potem se zelo spreminja: nekateri zbledijo, nekateri gredo z udarcem zaradi izvršilnega dejanja ali krampanja, nekateri pa sčasoma dokažejo svojo moč .

Jakovenko, a former Qualcomm and Dropbox developer, published the Solana Bela knjiga in 2017, and the smart contract network launched its mainnet in 2020. It’s hardly the only Ethereum challenger out there—Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Stellar (XLM), NEO, and Dfinity (ICP) are among the others. But some of those names have already had their moment in the sun and fallen back to Earth, while Solana is enjoying an extended “Solana summer” right now for a number of reasons.

First of all, and most important: It’s lightning fast and relatively easy to use. Solana processes 65,000 transactions per second (TPS). Ethereum handles just 30, and Bitcoin’s TPS right now is… fewer than 6. In other words, Solana is what it claims to be: faster than Ethereum—for now. As blockchains get more popular, they tend to get slower.

Solana’s tools are also remarkably easy to use, something you discover right away when you try them out. In my attempt to buy an NFT on Solana (predrago, so I didn’t buy), I had to set up a Phantom wallet (read our clear-eyed how-to guide) and, I’m sorry to say to the Ethereum crowd, it was much smoother than getting started with MetaMask. It was downright fun. Crypto blogger Packy McCormick had a similar experience last month when he tried out Solana: “I have to say… it’s res hitro in res poceni. Ni vam treba dvakrat premisliti, da bi kaj naredili, ker se tako hitro premika in stane tako malo. To je bistvo. Zdi se mi, kot da uporabljam internet. "

So that’s the tech side. On the buzz side, Solana has also benefited from the backing (and frequent pumping) of FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. In January, SBF famously offered a trader who was bearish on Solana to buy out all his SOL at $3 per token (and then “go fuck off”). The trader did not take him up on it, and now SOL is at $164. And then there are the celebrity endorsements from names like Steve Harvey in Jason Derulo.

Toda dejavnik slavnih je lahko tudi signal bežnega hypa. To je to Nick Tomaino, an early Coinbase employee whose VC firm 1 potrditev was an early investor in OpenSea and SuperRare, had on Solana when I asked him on Friday.

"Tam, kjer bi bil nekoliko bolj skeptičen do stvari, kot je Solana, je, da v resnici nisem videl nič novega, kar bi resnično potisnilo prostor naprej," pravi Tomaino. "Če zdaj pogledate Solano in NFT -je na Solani, imate SolPunks ali karkoli drugega, imate Sol Apes [Degenerirane opice], vse te različice stvari, ki so na Ethereumu. In to je super, saj prinaša nove ljudi, a te stvari so lahko minljive ... Ko v kratkem opazite toliko hrupa okoli nečesa in tam ne vidite prave inovacije, je lahko pravi čas, da bodi malo skeptičen. "

Ni prave inovacije? Anatolij Yakovenko in nosilci vrečk SOL bi se prosili za razliko. Zaenkrat Ethereum kljub zaznanim napakam nosi krono DeFi (te pristojbine za plin!), in kako bo izzivalec, kot je Solana, prenašal vse večje bolečine, kot je ta izpad, bo določil njegovo moč.
