Solana developers are considering increasing network block capacity by 66%.

As demand for block space grows, Solana developers are considering increasing the network's block capacity by 66%. According to a document released by core contributors this week, the new proposal SIMD-0286 proposes increasing the upper limit of compute units (CU) per Solana block from 60.00M to 100.00M. The proposal aims to allow Solana to handle more transactions and support more complex applications, such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs), MEV systems, and restaking protocols, without hitting the compute limit.
