By: Invezz

The co-founder of Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko, made an announcement that all validators need to update to the latest version of the node, 1.13.5.

Based on his outlook, the update can fix all of the Solana (SOL/USD) network outages which were caused by the overloading of UDP-based protocols.

SOL is the native cryptocurrency used to power the Solana blockchain and is used for the payment of transaction fees. The network is known for its speed as well as efficiency, despite the frequent network shutdowns.

The node update release as a catalyst for growth

In the latest Solana news, on November 18, 2022, Yakovenko announced the 1.13.5 update and shared insights into how many validators run the previous versions of the node.

In the official tweet, he said 553 validators ran on 1.13.4, while 354 ran on 1.13.3.

Then on November 19, he urged all validators to update.
