Outage issues: Once a significant problem, Salana’s reliability has vastly improved since October 2022, with recent outages identified as deployment mistakes rather than fundamental blockchain flaws. “All blockchains suck right now; Salana has done better in the last year than most,” he argued, citing the high usage levels (~2 million daily users) and ongoing efforts to fix technical bugs.
