Solana has been taking market share out of Ethereum across several
sectors. The platform has seen the expansion of its NFT based
projects with SolChicks, one of its latest on-chain games with a
play-to-earn (P2E) model, causing a lot of hype amongst the users.

Investors ‘Appetite’ The game was built with SolChick, one of
Solana’s NFT Collections, and let players take their assets and
using as their main characters. Launched with a Player-to-Player
(PvP), a Gameplay with raids characteristics, SolChicks has set out
to “revolutionize the industry”. The hype around this Solana
project translated into a slowdown in the network’s activity as too
many users tried to access the platform via Raydium and Solana, the
blockchain backing the launch, and crashed it. The team behind the
project posted the following via their Twitter account after its
problematic token generation event (TGE): We apologize for the
inconvenience of this delay, but tens of thousands of people are
trying to buy $CHICKS and the Raydium server has crashed. It
appears SolScan is also not loading our contract address right now
either. The team behind the project tried to fix the issue while,
according to the official post, working on deploying a liquidity
pool that will support the game and its GameFi model. As revealed
pre-launch, users need to claim their SolChicks. The increasing
demand for SolChicks and the platform’s native token CHICKS, caused
Solana to congest. Thus, slowing down transactions in the network
and the users’ capacity to claim and transact with these digital
assets. The team behind SolChicks called the event a “record
breaking launch” and transferred the responsibility on the event to
Solana: The token claiming dashboard has crashed, as the Solana
network is extremely congested. We’ve had tens of thousands
simultaneous claims and buys and there simply isn’t enough capacity
in the network. This is something that is completely out of our
hands, and rests solely with the Solana network. A Solution For A
Problematic Event On Solana In the coming day, the team behind
SolChicks prepares to airdrop their tokens for the users that meet
the requirements. In order to achieve this objective and contribute
with reducing congestion levels on the Solana network, the team is
currently creating a plan. In addition, the team warned users about
potential fake and scam accounts and addresses looking to use the
project’s popularity for personal gains. Finally, they added the
following as a special message to the community: Once again, we
sincerely apologise for the hiccups on launch day. No one likes or
wants these holdups; however you can rest assured that our entire
team is working around the clock to actively rectify these issues,
including liaising with Solana and Raydium directly. Related
