With DePIN activity surging, Solana targets Firedancer upgrade to enhance network performance and accommodate growth.
Solana plans to release a full version of the Firedancer upgrade in 2025, with “pared-down versions” rolling out before then, according to Solana Foundation’s DePIN lead, Kuleen Nimkar.
The upgrade aims to increase Solana’s overall reliability and scalability as network activity from decentralized infrastructure protocols continues to grow. “We’re seeing a ton of up-and-coming deep-end projects that are doing everything,” Kuleen said of DePIN activity at DEFICON on May 23.
DePIN, or decentralized physical infrastructure networks, refers to the use of blockchain to manage and operate physical infrastructure systems.
