Solana has started producing a notable share of blocks above its former compute ceiling after raising the per-block compute unit, or CU, limit from 60 million to 100 million. According to the Techub News digest, roughly 10% to 23% of blocks in any given hour have moved past the old 60 million CU threshold since the change took effect. The update points to immediate usage of the extra compute capacity now available on the network. Solana is described as a high-performance Layer1 blockchain known for high throughput and low transaction costs. CU serves as the base unit for measuring computational cost on the network. Citing Cointelegraph, the report said the higher block compute limit helps Solana process more complex transactions and smart contracts.

Solana is a high-performance Layer1 blockchain known for high throughput and low transaction costs. CU is the base unit used to measure transaction computation costs on the network. The higher block compute limit is intended to improve Solana’s ability to process more complex transactions and smart contracts.
