Solana Eyes 66% Block Size Bump With New Developer Proposal as Network Demand Grows

Solana developers are considering increasing the network’s block capacity by 66% as demand for block space on the most widely used network grows.A new proposal, SIMD-0286, floats the idea of increasing Solana’s per-block compute limit from 60 million to 100 million compute units (CUs), according to a document posted by core contributors this week. The goal is to let Solana process more transactions and support heavier apps like DEXs, MEV systems…

Solana (SOL) Developers Unveil Massive New Update Proposal That Would Escalate Network Capacity - The Daily Hodl

The core developers of the Ethereum (ETH) challenger Solana (SOL) are eyeing to further increase the network’s capacity with a proposed new upgrade. In the new improvement document published on the development hosting platform GitHub, Solana developers say that the SIMD-0286 proposal will increase the network’s per-block compute limit from 60 million compute units (CU) to 100 million CU. Compute units serve as resources needed for every transact…

Solana Price Set for a Rally as Whale Withdraws 164K SOL Coins

Key Insights: Solana price broke out of bullish chart patterns with targets above $1,300. A whale pulled 164K SOL coins from Kraken and staked them, reducing the supply. Network upgrades and volume surges signal strong rally potential. A Solana (SOL) crypto whale has withdrawn 164,000 SOL coins from the Kraken exchange. The withdrawal, totaling over $30 million, was followed by staking activity, signaling long-term confidence in the Solana pric…

Solana devs aim to increase transaction speeds and network throughput

Solana core developers have published a new improvement document, SIMD‑0286, that would increase the network’s per‑block compute limit from 60 million to 100 million compute units, a 66% boost designed to give more throughput for DeFi and builders.  The document appears on the Solana Foundation’s GitHub page, where it is open for feedback by node operators. Block limits set how much computational work validators can handle in each 400‑millisecon…

Solana Targets Major Performance Boost With New Upgrade

The plan, known as SIMD-0286, would increase the compute unit (CU) limit per block from 60 million to 100 million. If implemented, the upgrade would give more room for decentralized exchanges, MEV auctions, and re-staking protocols — use cases that often hit performance ceilings under current constraints. While the boost would require more robust hardware from validators, it could eliminate common “computation budget exceeded” errors that develo…
