⚡ Solana Scaling Proposal in Testing — Compute Units May Jump to 60M
🚀 Solana has officially raised its block capacity to 60 million Compute Units (CU), following the activation of SIMD-0256, a major scalability upgrade. This marks a 20% increase from the previous 50M CU limit, allowing the network to process more transactions per block and support complex dApps with greater efficiency.
🔍 Why It Matters:
- Compute Units (CUs) are Solana’s version of Ethereum’s gas — they measure how much work a block can handle.
- The upgrade reduces congestion, improves finality, and supports gaming, DeFi, and NFT apps that require high computational loads.
- Developers now expect 100M CU blocks by end of 2025, pushing Solana toward centralized system-level performance.
📊 Impact on Ecosystem:
- Faster execution and lower latency during peak traffic
- More room for bundled transactions and advanced logic
- Projects can now scale horizontally without hitting CU ceilings
🧠 Analyst Take:
> “This upgrade isn’t just technical — it’s strategic. Solana is building the infrastructure to dominate high-performance Web3.”#ProjectCrypto #TrumpTariffs #MarketPullback #WhiteHouseDigitalAssetReport #FOMCMeeting
