US EditionSolana (SOL) News: Proposal for Bigger Blocks
Jump Crypto's proposal aims to remove Solana's fixed 60 million compute unit block limit to enable dynamic scaling based on validator hardware, boosting throughput after Alpenglow upgrade.
- Jump Crypto's Firedancer team filed SIMD-0370 on Saturday to remove Solana's 60 million CU block cap, proposing dynamic scaling with validator capacity.
- Alpenglow passed earlier this month and cuts finality from about 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, adding a skip-vote feature and new Votor and Rotor consensus mechanisms.
- Dynamic block scaling would let block size vary with each validator's hardware, creating a performance flywheel that encourages upgrades through higher fees.
- Engineers warned that removing block caps could push smaller validators aside as larger, well-funded validators upgrade, while critics say rewards may shift toward big machines, reducing validator diversity.
- Institutional signals include Jump Crypto's filing SIMD-0370 and ETF flows like the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF with $33 million trading volume and $12 million inflows, suggesting rising capital interest.

Solana (SOL) News: Proposal for Bigger Blocks
In a bold shift for Solana’s (SOL) scaling roadmap, Jump Crypto’s Firedancer development team has submitted a proposal, known as SIMD-0370, that would remove the block-level compute unit limit.The change, which the team suggested would be implemented following the deployment of the Alpenglow upgrade, could unlock a new regime of throughput by letting block producers have bigger blocks.Under today’s design, each block is bounded by a maximum allo…
Jump Crypto Proposes Removing Solana Block Size Limit After Alpenglow Upgrade
Jump Crypto’s Firedancer team has proposed uncapping Solana’s block compute unit limit following the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade that is set to begin testing later in the year. The proposal, known as SIMD-0370, aims to remove the fixed block capacity limit to allow block sizes to scale dynamically based on validator performance. Validators would be able to skip blocks they cannot process within the allotted time, enabling higher-performance valid…
Solana Could Get A Turbo Boost As Firedancer Targets Block Restrictions
Solana’s performance push picked up fresh momentum this week as engineers behind Firedancer, the alternative high-performance validator client spearheaded by Jump, filed a new Solana Improvement Document (SIMD-0370) to remove the network’s block-level compute unit (CU) limit—a change they argue is now redundant after Alpenglow and would immediately translate into higher throughput and lower latency […]
Institutional Demand and Firedancer Upgrade Fuel Solana Rally: Can SOL Hold $207 Support? - Coin Surges
Institutional confidence in Solana (SOL) remains strong, making it one of the stable altcoins in the market. Treasury wallets now hold over 20.9 million SOL, roughly 3.64% of the total supply, indicating that large investors are increasingly viewing SOL alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of diversified crypto portfolios. Companies like Forward Industries and Brera Holdings have disclosed their asset exposure, while ARK has added Solana-relat…
