Firedancer Full Version Aiming for 2025 Release
It has been announced that the full version of Firedancer, a new validator client software for Solana (SOL), is scheduled to be released in 2025.
Validator client software refers to the software used to execute the role of a “validator,” which involves verifying transactions and generating blocks.
Firedancer is a new validator client software that is expected to significantly enhance the processing speed, stability, and scalability of the Solana network, laying the foundation for the network’s future development.
Firedancer was operating on the testnet as of the end of October 2023. However, Solana Foundation’s DePIN lead, Clean Nimkar, revealed during DEFICON held on May 23 that preparations are underway for a full release in 2025.
Simplified Version to be Deployed Before Full Release
Additionally, a simplified version is set to be deployed before the full version’s release. This initiative aims to improve the overall reliability and scalability of Solana amid increasing activities within decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).
DePIN refers to projects that utilize tokens and blockchain technology to incentivize communities while building physical infrastructure networks from scratch.
Several DePIN-related projects are deployed on Solana, including “Hivemapper, Helium, and Render.” Notably, Hivemapper saw its number of connected drivers increase from about 30,000 to approximately 67,000 in May.
Hivemapper (HONEY) is a Solana-based decentralized mapping project that creates a world map by having drivers around the globe take images with in-car cameras, rewarding photo contributors with HONEY tokens.
The performance improvements brought by the release of Firedancer are expected to contribute to the further growth of DePIN projects, potentially becoming a game-changer for the Solana blockchain.
