TL;DR
- A growing preference for Cardano over Solana has been detected due to speed and reliability issues in transactions.
- 75% of transactions on the SOL network are failing, raising concerns about the effectiveness of its blockchain.
- Dan Gambardello praises Cardano’s efforts in development and scalability while questioning SOL’s lack of response to performance issues.
Lately, a growing preference for the blockchain of Cardano over Solana’s has been detected, driven by concerns regarding transaction speed and reliability. This trend has been echoed by Dan Gambardello, a prominent figure in the crypto space and the founder of Crypto Capital Venture, who shares the sentiment with many users.
Gambardello revealed on X that approximately 75% of transactions on Solana are failing, sparking worries among users and casting doubt on the efficacy of its blockchain. This high failure rate has led Gambardello to question Solana’s leadership position in the crypto market.
Around 75% of Solana transactions failing.
Let me start by saying to be 100% fair, I was trading a newly launched token the other day on Cardano, and the transactions took longer than I would have liked there as well.
All these chains have a ton of progress to be made.

Despite acknowledging that both Solana and Cardano need improvements, Gambardello commended Cardano’s consistent efforts in development and the implementation of various scalability solutions and significant milestones. In contrast, he observed a lack of similar proactive behavior from Solana in addressing its performance issues.
Solana Is Underperforming, Cardano Seizes the Moment
Gambardello’s criticisms align with shared experiences from other community members who have described using the SOL network in recent days as a “brutal” experience due to transaction delays. These sentiments reflect widespread concerns about SOL’s reliability and efficiency compared to other blockchains. Allegedly, this consistent failure is attributed to network congestion resulting from the success of various memecoins based on Solana.
Despite the criticisms, some users have noted that Solana developers are working on solutions to address transaction failures and enhance user experience. It is hoped that these solutions will be implemented soon, potentially restoring users’ confidence in the network and alleviating concerns about its performance.
While both projects face challenges, Solana’s ability to address its performance issues will be crucial in maintaining its competitiveness in the market and ensuring users’ long-term trust.
