Solana developers have increased the network’s block limit from 50 million to 60 million compute units (CUs), marking a move to support higher transaction volumes and improve overall performance.
Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz announced the update on July 23, representing a 20% expansion in block capacity.
According to Mumtaz, compute units on Solana function like fuel for a vehicle, as each transaction consumes a certain number of CUs depending on its complexity. For instance, a basic token transfer uses fewer CUs than a multi-swap operation across decentralized exchanges.
This upgrade is part of a broader effort to address execution constraints observed during periods of high network activity. Solana raised the CU limit to 50 million in June as a precautionary step to prevent disruptions.
Following the success of that implementation, developers moved forward with the second phase of lifting the cap to 60 million CUs.
