Odaily Planet Daily News With the implementation of SIMD-0207, Solana engineers increased the block size of the chain by 4%. This change allows more data to be packed into Solana blocks, and in theory more transactions can be packed into a single block, thereby increasing the transaction throughput of the network. SIMD-0207 was originally proposed by Anza engineer Andrew Fitzgerald and has been successfully implemented on the chain, raising Solana's block limit to 50 million CUs, an increase of 4%.
Increasing the network's block limit is just a small step on Solana's expansion roadmap. Future network governance proposals and upgrades will target continuous, 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)
