Solana Could Drop Block Limits as Firedancer Challenges Compute Unit Cap

Jump Crypto’s Firedancer team has introduced SIMD-0370, a proposal that could reshape how Solana processes transactions. The independent validator client wants to remove the network’s fixed compute unit (CU) block limit, arguing that validator performance should determine capacity rather than an arbitrary ceiling.
