Solana combines the most familiar things proof of stake consensus model with date proof protocol. This ensures, so to speak, that the network has enormous capacity. However, this enormous capacity comes at the expense of the security and stability of the network, says Justin Pons.
If Pons hits the nail on his analysis of the current situation, it is unlikely that more such attacks will occur on Solana’s network in the future.
Of course, despite the problems it is currently facing, Solana is a very promising platform. This is also reflected in SOL . price. In the past year, that price has gone up more than 11000%.
