Jump Crypto's Firedancer validator client has officially launched on Solana mainnet, marking a significant milestone for network decentralization and performance.
Firedancer is an independent implementation of the Solana validator software, written from scratch in C. Its deployment brings client diversity to Solana, reducing the risk of network-wide outages from bugs in a single client.
Performance Improvements
- Theoretical throughput exceeding 1 million TPS
- Reduced hardware requirements for validators
- Improved network stability and resilience
- Independent codebase for client diversity
