Solana Don Boost Block Capacity Reach 60M Compute Units, Dem Dey Eye 100M CU Upgrade
Solana block capacity don increase by 20% to 60 million compute units after the recent SIMD-0256 network upgrade. Helius co-founder and CEO Mert Mumtaz confirm say the previous limit na 48 million compute units per block. This increase dey aim to improve transaction throughput, reduce fees, and ease network congestion.
Building on this success, Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder propose SIMD-0286 to raise the per-block limit further to 100 million compute units later this year. The proposal aim to scale Solana’s transaction processing and support growing DeFi and decentralized app usage without overloading validators.
Market reaction strong: SOL price jump 12% to over $202 on Monday, fuel by increased block capacity and token accumulation by companies like DeFi Development Corp and Bit Mining. Meanwhile, Ethereum also increase its block gas limit to nearly 45 million units in its first major adjustment since February, showing rising competition among smart-contract platforms to attract developers and handle higher volumes.
For traders, Solana block capacity upgrades mean better user experience and network scalability, fit keep demand for SOL and affect short-term price swings and long-term investment plans.
