Network Capacity & Performance - Solana's network capacity increased by 66% [1] - Higher TPS (Transactions Per Second) is expected with XDP [1] Technology & Implementation - XDP (Express Data Path) is being implemented by Solana validators [1] - Community is debating whether XDP will be a significant improvement [1]

Network Capacity - Starlink's larger V3 satellites, deploying from Starship, aim to provide gigabit connectivity to users [1] - The V3 satellites are designed to add 60 Tera-bits-per-second of downlink capacity to the Starlink network [1] - The added capacity of V3 satellites is over 20 times the capacity added with each V2 Mini launch on Falcon 9 [1]

Proposal Overview - Jump's Firedancer team proposed SIMD-0370 to eliminate Solana's fixed compute unit block limit post-Alpenglow [1] - The proposal suggests a dynamic throughput scaling with validator power, replacing static caps [1] Mechanism - Block producers would maximize transaction packing [1] - Slower validators would skip blocks, incentivizing upgrades [1] Impact - Producers could potentially earn more rewards [1] - Lagging validators risk losing rewards, driving hardware upgrades [1] - Network capacity is expected to increase as validators upgrade [1]

Network Capacity - Solana developers are considering a 66% increase in the block limit, raising it to 100 million compute units [1] - The proposed increase aims to further boost network capacity [1]
