Solana is concentrating on the ‘Firedancer’ upgrade to enhance its blockchain processing speed. The development team plans to involve a supermajority of validators in the first test, named Frankendancer, to ensure the system’s robustness before its full launch. This upgrade is expected to resolve previous stability issues and boost transaction capabilities significantly.

Jump Crypto is the firm behind Firedancer, a software that theoretically processes up to one million transactions per second. This speed aims to give Solana a competitive edge in global blockchain technology. Despite Firedancer’s promising capabilities, its official launch remains undetermined as the current software faces challenges like bugs and crashes.

Solana Foundation is encouraging validators to adopt the Frankendancer test by offering incentives, particularly to smaller validators. The aim is to ensure more widespread testing and adoption of the upgrade, promoting better network performance. However, validators need to transition soon to avoid losing their delegated stakes.
