Coinbase Confronts Challenges with Solana Amid Transaction Delays and Infrastructure Overhaul
Coinbase, a leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is facing widespread criticism for delayed Solana (SOL) transactions amidst a surging activity within its Solana operations. Users have experienced delays exceeding 14 hours, raising concerns about liquidity and the underlying practices at the exchange. The delays have fueled speculation that Coinbase has been staking SOL without user consent, complicating liquidity when users simultaneously demand withdrawals. These issues emerge as the crypto community still reels from the FTX collapse, prompting calls for Coinbase to confirm its solvency and provide Proof of Reserve audits. Additionally, despite adjustments to enhance its infrastructure as noted by CEO Brian Armstrong, Coinbase continues to struggle with accommodating the increased load, further evidenced by significant transaction delays after the introduction of new memecoins on the Solana network. The situation underscores the broad challenges that exchanges face in managing scalability, transparency, and user trust amid rapid market dynamics.
