Solana (SOL) network is facing criticism due to congestion issues, according to Fantom (FTM) co-founder Andre Cronje. However, Cronje argues that these outages are a result of the platform’s success and increasing user activity.

Cronje took to social media platform X to address the criticisms against Solana, stating that the demand for blockspace is the reason behind the recent issues. He emphasizes that these problems are merely engineering hurdles and not a fault of consensus or any critical component.

Last week, Solana experienced a period where over 70% of its non-vote transactions failed, causing concern among users. In response, co-founder Raj Gokal reassured users that developers were diligently working on resolving the issue. Gokal highlighted the efforts of world-class engineering teams who are working around the clock to improve the transaction submission experience on Solana.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko also expressed his thoughts on the network’s technical challenges, stating that fixing congestion problems is not a quick and easy process. He explains that dealing with congestion bugs is more complicated than liveness failure, as it requires going through the full release and test pipeline, making fast shipping impossible.

Despite these issues, SOL’s price has recovered from a low of $168.07 last week and is currently trading at $178.01.
