Description

Solana's about to get a major speed boost with the Alpenglow upgrade, but a new proposal to ditch the 60 million compute unit limit per block could be a game-changer. Imagine Solana block sizes adapting to validator hardware, potentially supercharging transaction speeds! But it's not all sunshine and roses – this move could favor deep-pocketed validators, raising centralization concerns and potentially leaving smaller players behind. Is the promise of massive scalability worth the risk? Dive in to explore the debate rocking the Solana community.
