Network Latency Drives Solana Validator to South Africa's Commercial Hub

Superfast founder Martin Tromp has launched a Solana validator in a Teraco data center in Johannesburg. Solana is a blockchain platform that competes with Ethereum and relies on proof-of-stake validators to secure and verify transactions. Tromp initially launched the validator in Cape Town but moved it to Johannesburg due to network latency issues. Despite being further from the coast, he found that the performance in Johannesburg was better, partly due to upgraded hardware.
