Has the Solana network actually improved?
A few years ago every conversation about Solana eventually turned into jokes about outages. I don't hear that nearly as often anymore. Has the network actually improved that much or am I just not paying attention?
It definitely feels more stable than it was a couple of years ago. We haven't heard about major outages nearly as often, although we still think reliability is something people keep an eye on.
Improved usually means fewer failed txs and more consistent confirmation times under load — not just a green status page. When I want a reality check I glance at fresh SOL meme/token flow and holder clustering instead of trusting vibes. Screener I use for that: https://gmgn.ai/r/79XCfNUq. Still easy to get wrecked on thin LP — DYOR / NFA.
