Solana Prepares for Mainnet Upgrade v1.18.15 with Major Enhancements

• The Solana team is getting ready to alleviate strain and congestion on the network.
• The team requested that the mainnet beta validator upgrade to the latest version.

In order to strengthen the Solana blockchain, validators are being urged to upgrade to a new stable version, and Solana is getting ready for another mainnet upgrade. In the midst of the meme coin craze and the enormous demand for platforms on the Solana-based blockchain, the team is getting ready to alleviate strain and congestion on the chain.

According to a post by Solana Status on June 10, the team has now suggested the v1.18.15 release for the mainnet upgrade. The Solana team requested that the mainnet beta validator upgrade to the latest version, 1.18.15.

Substantial Enhancements

Some of the most notable improvements coming with the upgrade include bringing Bump up to version 1.18.15, a stable release that is compatible with Mainnet Beta. In accordance with the GitHub release, it incorporates metrics for threshold failures, fixes an issue that prevented legitimate transactions from being sent back into the queue, and adds certificate authority (ca) certificates to the docker image. Scheduler optimization will also be included as worker precompile verification, and the consensus approach will be the only time shallow threshold checks are used.

While keeping an eye on the nodes, validators are expected to provide updates if the delinquent stake drops below 5% and to report any problems they encounter. Since a prior upgrade created problems on the network, developers and validators are eagerly awaiting this much-anticipated upgrade.
