Solana has finally rolled out an update that promises to tackle the network congestion. 
On its account on X, the Solana team announced that the v1.17.31 release is now recommended for general use by MainnetBeta validators. 
Validators are entities that run nodes or software that confirm transactions and secure the blockchain network. They need to continually upgrade their node to the latest releases in order to deal with any potential issues that may arise on the network. 
The release includes enhancements that will help tackle the problem of the continuous congestion on the Solana Network that users have been addressing recently.

Congestion issues have been recently plaguing the network amidst the meme coin frenzy that arrived in the crypto industry. The result was a bump in user activity, which led to a really high demand for the network. 
Version 1.17.31 is the first one in a series of more planned updates that will address the network congestion in recent months.

Rex St John, Anza’s head of developer relations, addressed the features of this update via a message on X. 
Anza is a Solana-focused dev-shop building the Solana client Agave, developer tools, and more. 
He said that the rollout includes the first round of Solana mainnet congestion updates, which users have been waiting for. He also highlighted that this is not version 1.18, which will come later on with even more updates. 
Regarding the changes that the latest version brings, these refer to showing staked vs nonstaked packets sent down/throttled. 
Also, the update tightens the minimal streams per 100ms for staked node, and it will treat super low staked as unstaked in streamer QOS, among others.
