Solana block size could nearly double as dev propo

Solana block size could nearly double as dev proposes increase to 100M CU945d534ea0ea48f4a22e7eb1a21b18a5.webp

  • New proposal suggests raising Solana block limits from 60 to 100 million CUs.
  • Current limit increased recently from 48M to 60M CUs, improving fees and user experience.
  • Larger block capacity could handle more transactions but may increase execution times.
  • Upgrade aims to address past network congestion and prepare Solana for future demand.
The Solana (SOL) network could soon see a dramatic leap in block capacity, with a new proposal suggesting an increase to 100 million compute units per block, nearly doubling the current 60 million CU limit introduced earlier this week.

The proposal, submitted on GitHub by Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito Labs, argues that Solana’s current traffic is no longer bottlenecked by execution times, making a larger block size both feasible and beneficial. According to Bruder, the original block limits were designed to ensure that most validators could keep up with the network. However, with optimizations and improved validator performance, the network is now capable of processing much larger blocks without degradation.

If approved, the new 100M CU limit would let Solana handle more transactions in each block, easing network congestion and improving performance. However, it could also increase block execution times, and larger blocks may cause unforseen issues in infrastructure beyond the validators.
