Solana is stepping up its testing of Firedancer, a software upgrade that promises to significantly increase the processing speed of the blockchain. According to news in the Solana technology Discord server, the Solana core development team hopes that by the end of this week, the "vast majority" of the processing power in the low-risk test network on the chain will be able to run Frankendancer (an earlier version of Firedancer). The call to action for Solana validators marks the biggest test Firedancer has faced to date. The upgrade has been underway since the chain experienced frequent failures in 2022 and is seen to enhance Solana's stability and speed. On Tuesday, the Solana Foundation for the first time used this subsidy reward and punishment mechanism to directly promote the adoption of Frankendancer. Validators have only a few days to switch their testnet system to the new client side or lose their delegation rights.
