Solana Pushes Validators to Test Early 'Firedancer' Upgrade
Powered by @unfolded- Solana is intensifying testing of its Firedancer upgrade, aiming for a "super majority" of processing power on its test network to run the early version, Frankendancer.
- Firedancer, developed by Jump Crypto, promises to significantly boost Solana's processing speed, with theoretical capabilities of one million transactions per second.
- The upgrade has faced challenges, as many validators reported Frankendancer to be buggy and unstable, but recent efforts aim to increase its adoption among validators.
- The Solana Foundation is incentivizing validators to switch to Frankendancer by threatening to revoke their delegated stake if they do not comply within a set timeframe.
