Solana’s mainnet is set to lift the compute cap for each block by 66% in less than 24 hours, raising the limit from 60 million compute units to 100 million. The change is part of SIMD-0286 and is scheduled to activate automatically at the start of Epoch 1009. According to the information cited by BlockBeats, the proposal was put forward by Jito Labs and keeps all other limits unchanged while expanding the room available for non-vote transactions. The stated goal is to let Solana’s roughly 400 millisecond blocks carry more and more complex transactions, which in turn is intended to improve throughput and reduce congestion-related failure rates and fee pressure. The move marks another capacity increase for the network following SIMD-0256, which had previously lifted the per-block compute ceiling from around 50 million to 60 million.
Solana mainnet is set to increase the compute limit for each block by 66% in less than 24 hours, lifting the cap from 60 million compute units to 100 million, according to BlockBeats.
The change falls under SIMD-0286 and is scheduled to activate automatically at the start of Epoch 1009.
SIMD-0286 lifts the per-block ceiling to 100 million CUs
BlockBeats said the Solana improvement proposal SIMD-0286 was introduced by Jito Labs. Its core change is a rise in the maximum compute units per block from 60 million to 100 million CUs, while other limits remain unchanged.
More room for non-vote transactions
The proposal is aimed at freeing up more space for non-vote transactions. That would allow Solana blocks, which run at roughly 400 milliseconds, to handle a larger number of more complex transactions.
The stated objectives are to improve throughput and reduce congestion-related failure rates and fee pressure.
Another capacity increase after SIMD-0256
This is Solana’s latest capacity expansion after SIMD-0256, which had previously raised the per-block compute limit from about 50 million to 60 million.
