SOLANA PUSHES VALIDATORS TO TEST EARLY 'FIREDANCER' UPGRADE

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Solana is accelerating the testing phase of Firedancer, a highly-anticipated Jump Crypto-developed client upgrade that promises one million transactions per second, by requiring a supermajority of testnet validators to run Frankendancer, an early hybrid version, by week's end. The Solana Foundation is utilizing its delegation program to incentivize validator adoption, threatening to revoke delegated stake from non-compliant validators. However, early adopters report stability challenges with the new client.
