Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, announced the blockchain’s new version 2.2 has delivered a significant performance boost of 20%, outperforming Ethereum’s recent update by five times. The upgrade significantly improves network capacity and is lauded as key to Solana’s aggressive expansion strategy.
