The Solana Foundation announced that Firedancer, a new validation client developed by Jump Crypto, officially launched on Friday after more than three years of development. Firedancer brings diversity to Solana’s validation clients, offering an independent codebase that reduces the risk of a software bug causing network disruption. Previously, over 95% of validation clients used Agave or Agave-Jito, both developed from the original codebase of Solana Labs.
Firedancer has been operating in a production environment with a limited validation group for about 100 days, far exceeding the planned release in Q2 2024. This product is optimized for performance, uses the C programming language, and features a modular brick architecture to leverage modern hardware and help Solana achieve its goal of 1 million transactions per second.
