Proposal to remove the Block limit of Solana to speed up the network Jump Crypto - the Firedancer development team (a high-performance validator client for Solana) - has just proposed SIMD-0370: removing the static block limit (60M CU). 1. New approach: - If Validators are weak => automatically skip complex blocks. - Strong Validators => handle heavier blocks, earn more fees. - Those who do not upgrade their hardware => lose rewards => forced to optimize. - This creates a "performance spiral": blocks increasingly contain more transactions => network throughput increases => smoother user experience. 2. Context: - Firedancer + Alpenglow is considered the largest infrastructure upgrade in Solana's history. - Alpenglow can reduce finality from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds – approaching internet infrastructure. => If successfully implemented, Solana could "break free" from the shadow of Ethereum in terms of throughput. => But the risk here is centralization: large validators...
DEX volume on $ETH has surpassed $SOL
After the massive meme pump wave on Solana since October 2024, which caused Dex Volume on Sol to grow significantly compared to the rest of the market
Recently, we have witnessed a cooling off of the meme Sol after too many controversies. Alongside this, the stable volume of Dex on ETH has started to gradually edge back ahead of Sol
If we only consider L1s (excluding Arbitrum or Base,...) then it closely follows ETH and SOL and $BNB, followed by $SUI, $HYPE, $AVAX, and $TRX
Stable Dex Volume indicates a healthy development of the on-chain culture on that chain, which also somewhat reflects the health of the chain
- What do you think about this situation? Will SOL return to lead again or will ETH take the lead from here? Or will it be another chain?
