Solana Price Jumps After Network Update Aims to Fix Congestion Issues
Solana (SOL) is poised for a rebound after its developers implemented a software update (version 1.17.31) to address network congestion issues that have plagued the blockchain in recent months. This update coincides with a 10% surge in SOL price over the past 24 hours, suggesting renewed investor confidence.
