Solana developers are considering increasing the network’s block capacity by 66% as demand for block space on the most widely used network grows.
A new proposal, SIMD-0286, floats the idea of increasing Solana’s per-block compute limit from 60 million to 100 million compute units (CUs), according to a document posted by core contributors this week.
The goal is to let Solana process more transactions and support heavier apps like DEXs, MEV systems, and restaking protocols without hitting compute ceilings.
„Block limits’ primary purpose is to ensure the vast majority of network participants are able to keep up with the network, by restricting the amount of work a leader is allowed to pack into a block,” the proposal’s motivation reads.
„However, current mainnet traffic is largely not constrained by large block execution times. This proposal aims a substantial increase in block limits to 100 million CUs, in order to provide additional capacity to the network,” it adds.
