The pink portion of the bar represents actual transactions, while the light blue refers to the validator verification communications. @DBCrypt0 commented that it was &#8220;crazy&#8221; validator messages make up 90%-95% of transactions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;So when <\/span><span class=\"r-18u37iz\">#Solana<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\"> mentions they are doing 4K TPS just know less than 10% are ACTUAL transactions on the network.&#8221; <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_302867\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-302867\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-302867 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fp6cufHXgAEYtvW.jpg\" alt=\"Solana transactions split by consensus and validator comms\" width=\"680\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fp6cufHXgAEYtvW.jpg 680w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fp6cufHXgAEYtvW-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-302867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DBCrypt0\/status\/1629912441940312064\">@DBCrypt0 on Twitter.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">As the majority of transaction volume is made up of <\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">validators' messages, this &#8220;bog[s] down the system.&#8221; And when the network goes down, validators cannot speak to one another, sa<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">id @DBCrypt0.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In such instances, validators turn to Discord to decide what to do.
