The new limit of 60m CUs is not the end of the game. An additional proposal, SIMD-0286, suggests raising the compute limit to 100 million. While some developers are actively discussing this proposal, some others are expressing concerns about the readiness of validators. Larger block sizes will need stronger hardware, which not all network validators are equipped with.
Nevertheless, Solana’s roadmap looks promising. The network has deployed several enhancements over the last few months, including local fee markets and scheduler optimizations. These improvements are planned to supplement the block capacity upgrade through improved fee efficiency and resource utilization.
Meanwhile, SOL, the network’s native token, was relatively stable after the announcement. As of press time, was trading at around $181.38, with a market capitalization of $97.64 billion. According to analysts, such performance improvements are vital for long-term ecosystem expansion and institutional attention.
