Solana News: Solana Increases Block Capacity by 20%, Targets 100M CU Upgrade

Solana has officially made a solana news by increasing its block capacity from 50 million to 60 million Compute Units (CUs). A 20% surge that increases the capacity of the network to process more transactions per block. The upgrade came through the SIMD-0256 proposal. Which was backed by validator Andrew Fitzgerald and extensively supported by the Solana community.

Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius, a Solana infrastructure provider, announced the news through a recent post on X. He clarified that every transaction on Solana has a specific number of CUs depending on how complex it is, and increasing the total amount of units per block results in increased throughput, less congestion, and possibly cheaper fees.



Earlier, Solana had incrementally ramped up its block size from 48 million to 50 million CUs before this recent leap to 60 million. The crew is now looking towards a next upgrade to 100 million CUs, suggested by Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito Labs, through SIMD-0286. The proposal attempts to raise unjustified restrictions on block size since most of the current traffic. Which is not constrained by execution time, meaning the network can handle more information better.

Despite these promising technological breakthroughs, the cost of SOL dropped 8% in the last 24 hours. Also now at about $184.58. Nevertheless, the asset has continued to hold a 6% gain in the past week and 28% gain in the past month.

With further updates on the horizon, Solana continues to push toward improved scalability. Which is aiming to meet the demands of DeFi, gaming, and other high-performance applications of blockchain.
