ChainCatcher news, Superfast founder Martin Tromp has launched a Solana validation node at the Teraco data center in Johannesburg. Solana is a fast, scalable blockchain platform that competes with Ethereum, and as a proof-of-stake (PoS) system, validation nodes play a key role in network security and transaction validation.Tromp initially deployed the node in Cape Town, but moved it to Johannesburg due to network latency issues caused by a submarine cable break. Despite being further from the coast, performance has improved at the new location thanks to hardware upgrades.
