Solana has implemented SIMD-0207, increasing the block limit by 4%

Odaily News With the implementation of SIMD-0207, Solana engineers have increased the chain’s block size by 4%. This change allows more data to be packed into Solana blocks, theoretically allowing more transactions to be packed into a single block, thereby increasing the network’s transaction throughput. SIMD-0207 was originally proposed by Anza engineer Andrew Fitzgerald and has now been successfully implemented on-chain, increasing Solana’s block limit to 50 million CUs, an increase of 4%.
Increasing the network’s block limit is just one small step on Solana’s scaling roadmap. Future network governance proposals and upgrades will target continued, incremental improvements to help Solana grow. For example, SIMD-0256 intends to further increase the block limit to 60 million CUs, a 25% increase from the level before SIMD-0207 was implemented. (SolanaFloor)
