Solana has activated the SIMD-0256 proposal, raising the network’s block limit to 60 million Compute Units (CU) on the mainnet. Compute Units, comparable to Ethereum’s Gas, determine block processing capacity. This upgrade is designed to support higher transaction throughput and more complex applications. Developers anticipate further expansion, with block space possibly growing to 100 million CU by year-end. These changes aim to enhance scalability and accommodate rising activity on the Solana blockchain.
