Firedancer | Crypto

Forward Industries has launched a 0%-commission, institutional-grade Solana validator with DoubleZero, built with Galaxy and Firedancer. The node has been positioned for top-tier performance, with pilot programs for revenue optimization, bandwidth expansion, and latency reduction across the network. The post Forward Industries Unveils 0%-Fee Solana Validator – Built with Galaxy and Firedancer appeared first on Cryptonews.

Jump Crypto has proposed removing Solana’s fixed compute block limit to prioritize high-performance validators to handle complex blocks over suboptimal validators. Web3 infrastructure company Jump Crypto has proposed removing Solana’s fixed compute block limit to strengthen network performance and incentivize validators with suboptimal hardware to upgrade. Jump, which is building a high-performance Firedancer validator client for Solana, is pushing for the SIMD-0370 proposal to be implemented sometime after the Alpenglow upgrade, Solana research company Anza said on Saturday.  Alpenglow passed in a near-unanimous vote earlier this month and is set to be deployed on a testnet in December.

Solana’s Firedancer validator client promises huge speed boosts but faces network limits as developer Douglas Colkitt tests its full potential on Fogo. Solana’s next-generation validator client, Firedancer, may not reach full speed on the network it was built for as technical limits push developers to test it elsewhere. One of those developers is Douglas Colkitt, a former high-frequency trader who’s testing a hybrid validator setup called Frankendancer on Fogo, a Solana-compatible chain built to remove the constraints that currently prevent Firedancer from reaching its full potential on Solana. Colkitt, a founding contributor at Fogo, said the new blockchain isn’t trying to replace Solana but does discard some of Solana’s core assumptions, such as globally distributed validator sets, to showcase how far Firedancer can go when speed takes priority over decentralization.
