Solana is one of the crypto giants contributing $47 billion to the crypto market. This coin was born in 2020 and has been on an uptrend since then. Bank of America claims that Solana could soon become the ‘visa of crypto.
Coin Telegraph reports that Bank of America will take advantage of Ethereum’s market share as it creates a host of advantages in trading and other uses. More than 50 billion transactions and about 5.7 non-fungible tokens are used in the crypto market. However, many critics condemned the move due to the decentralized network and long-term viability.

“Ethereum prioritizes decentralization and security, but at the cost of scalability, this has led to periods of network congestion and transaction fees that are sometimes greater than the value of the transaction being sent.” Solana prioritizes scalability, but a relatively less decentralized and secure blockchain has its tradeoffs, exemplified by a number of network performance issues since its inception,” he added.
The data shows that with more than 1,700 visa transactions per second, the visa network is equipped to handle 24,000 transactions per second. Ethereum’s performance is currently 12 transactions per second; on the other hand, visa transactions for Solana can reach 65,000 transactions per second.
Recent issues are a matter of concern
Solana has seen a number of severe network crashes recently, including a withdrawal issue on July 12. Reports indicate an outage on January 7 and a DDoS attack on January 5. January. Solana also experienced network congestion due to mass bots last December.
Austin Federal, director of communications at Solana Labs, said the developer is constantly eliminating network and performance issues to improve transactions and optimize other services.
