Solana clears millions of “non vote” transactions in hours
Federa contrasted this with the outsized gas fees paid by users of the Ethereum network during popular airdrops such as the launch of ApeCoin in March 2022.
However, the airdrop event also saw numerous complaints from users of third-party apps such as Phantom Wallet and Solflare in the first hour of the airdrop. Federa said the issue was remote procedure call (RPC) nodes — the interface between user wallets and the network — and not the base layer of Solana itself.
“The base layer 1 held exactly as you would expect it to during a large influx of user activity, the RPC layer was fine — mostly unimpacted — and validators kept producing blocks in the network,” said Federa.
Meanwhile, a seventeen-year-old pseudonymous crypto investor who goes by the X handle notshort claims to have raked in over $1 million from the Solana-based JUP airdrop.
Of all eligible wallets, 41% have now claimed their JUP tokens, with a total of 566 million JUP — 57% of the total airdrop allocation — being claimed since the airdrop went live at 10:00 am Eastern Time on Jan. 31, according to Dune Analytics data from Osk2020.
