Phantom Wallet Users Face Solana Congestion, Prefer $200 Gas Fees

Users of the Phantom digital wallet experienced significant disruptions due to congestion on the Solana network, resulting in failed transactions and inability to send or swap the SOL cryptocurrency. Complaints surfaced on social media about the network's low fee settings and the preference for higher transaction fees, with some users expressing willingness to pay $200 gas fees for reliable service. The issue, highlighted by users' frustrations with the network's performance, contrasts with Solana's ambition to scale up to 60,000 transactions per second. Phantom's team acknowledged the congestion and assured users that efforts were underway to improve the situation.
