Solana Usage Pushed Our Infra Past Limits, Says Coinbase Exec

@Coinbase users reported significant delays to @Solana transactions on Jan. 20, but according to Coinbase Protocol Specialist Andrew Allen (@ann_droo), the network isn’t to blame.

“Yeah, it’s on us to improve. Not Solana’s fault,” Allen said on X. “Solana usage has pushed our infra[structure] past its limits, and the team is well aware and actively working on it.”

One user reported that a Solana transaction was stuck in limbo for more than 15 hours.

At the time of writing Coinbase’s status page showed that the team was still investigating delayed sends and receives on Solana.

The increased network activity on Solana over the last three days was driven largely by billions of dollars of Trump-related memecoin trading.
