On Wednesday, Firedancer, the all awaited Solana client built by Jump crypto had it’s first block accepted on Testnet. Even thought it had to shut down due to synchronization issues, it worked.
Firedancer introduces sharding support, which in turn increases network throughput.
Firedancer enhances Solana’s TPS to 1M, from the current 3k. Compared to Ethereum‘s 22.
Anatoly announced there’s a high chance that Firedancer is up on Mainnet before Solana’s breakpoint conference in September. If/when this happens, expect a lot of price action, buckle up.

So far this year, the L1 competition has been heated. The top losers have been Polygon, Avalanche and Aptos, while top winners include BNB, ETH, SOL and TON. It might be a good idea to bet on the new generation of L1s pioneered by Sui and Aptos, which are nearing all time lows.
