$SOL Solana’s SIMD-0207 upgrade is live, boosting block capacity by 4% to improve transaction speeds. But, this could strain decentralization, as beefier hardware demands may sideline smaller validators.
Looking ahead, Solana’s scaling plans include:
SIMD-0256: Proposing a 25% block capacity hike to 60M CUs for safer scaling.
Firedancer: Jump Crypto’s validator client, set for 2025, aiming for over 1M transactions per second.
DoubleZero: Led by Austin Federa, this project tackles bandwidth and latency for a slicker blockchain.
How will Solana balance speed and decentralization with these upgrades?
