At that time, around 69% of stakes ran through the original Solana Labs client.<\/p>\n<p>A validator client developed by JitoLabs accounted for the remaining 31% of validator stakes on Solana.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Firedancer \u2014 an independent validator client developed by a crypto infrastructure company called Jump Trading \u2014 will become available to Solana validators soon.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_will_firedancer_make_solana_more_resilient_and_decentralized\">How Will Firedancer Make Solana more Resilient and Decentralized?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The introduction of Firedancer will improve Solana&#8217;s validator client diversity.<\/p>\n<p>Having a diverse set of independently-developed validator clients is vital to a blockchain network&#8217;s decentralization and security as relying on a single client can make a network susceptible to attacks and bugs.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the key reasons how Firedancer will make Solana more resilient and decentralized:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bugs<\/strong> &#8211; Nodes distributed across many clients will ensure that a bug in an individual client does not halt the entire network.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attacks<\/strong> &#8211; Validator client diversity is seen as a key line of defense against attacks that target a particular client. Low client diversity risks can result in hacks and attacks such as denial-of-service attacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finality<\/strong> &#8211; Bugs in a validator client that is used to stake a sizable portion of cryptocurrencies in a PoS blockchain can prevent validators from finalizing transactions and achieving consensus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In a sense, Firefancer makes a difference simply by existing.<\/p>\n<p>Solana said in its Health Report:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Validator client diversity is important for the long-term health and functioning of the network. With multiple validator clients, the risk of one bug or harmful piece of code in a single client is mitigated by the existence of other independent clients, which are unlikely to have the same bug or malware attack, making a total network outage less likely.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/32571\/ethereum-cryptocurrency\">Ethereum<\/a> (ETH) had the most diverse set of validator clients out of all existing PoS blockchains. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/ethernodes.org\" target=\"_blank\">Ethernodes.org<\/a>, Ethereum mainnet validators used <strong>geth<\/strong> (46.7%), <strong>nethermind<\/strong> (35.6%), <strong>besu<\/strong> (7.5%), <strong>erigon<\/strong> (7.2%), and <strong>reth<\/strong> (2.8%), among others.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_will_firedancer_help_scale_solana\">How Will Firedancer Help Scale Solana?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Existing is one thing \u2014 but naturally, being good at its job is just as important.<\/p>\n<p>The Firedancer client is a brand new Solana validator aimed at improving on the efficiencies of the original validator client developed by Solana Labs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a chance for a post-facto rewrite of a code that has been put together very quickly and very impressively over the course of three years of a hyperscale project,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gJ0nMmqWLqk\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> Kanav Kariya, president of Firedancer developer Jump Trading.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Solana network has a lot of clever design elements that were designed rather intuitively and through clever pieces of engineering, but don&#8217;t really fully specified due to the intense time pressures under which the code base was built.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an opportunity for us to clearly specify the entire protocol from scratch, to analyze every design decision that&#8217;s been made, and to document and benchmark every piece of the software, and to get a fresh crack,&#8221; added Kariya.<\/p>\n<p>According to blockchain development platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alchemy.com\/overviews\/what-is-firedancer\" target=\"_blank\">Alchemy<\/a>, there are four key ways in which the Firedancer client will address existing limitations and improve upon the legacy Solana validator client:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Enhanced transaction processing<\/strong> &#8211; Validators using the Firedancer client will be able to support a high number of concurrent transactions resulting in faster processing times and high throughput. A key reason behind this improvement is the use of memory-efficient C and C++ programming languages to develop Firedancer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sharding support<\/strong> &#8211; Firedancer will enable scaling via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/31997\/database-shard\">sharding<\/a> on Solana. Sharding is a horizontal scaling method that divides a network into multiple smaller chains known as shards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved networking <\/strong>&#8211; The use of techniques such as compression and batching in Firedancer is expected to reduce the amount of data needed to be transmitted over the network of nodes, resulting in optimized networking and peer-to-peer communication.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Alchemy identified the risk associated with newer technologies and the time node operators spend learning how to use the new Firedancer clients as key disadvantages of the Firedancer client on Solana.<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere crypto research firm Messari said that Firedancer could unlock new markets and improve DeFi experience on Solana.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">8\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jump_firedancer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">@jump_firedancer<\/a>&#39;s success can unlock several significant benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it can enhance DeFi maturity by reducing latency times, bringing decentralized exchanges closer to centralized exchange parity. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2XngtsqSt6\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/2XngtsqSt6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Messari (@MessariCrypto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MessariCrypto\/status\/1666094133524713472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">June 6, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"about_jump_trading_developers_of_firedancer\">About Jump Trading: Developers of Firedancer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about the developer behind Firedancer, Jump Trading, whose reputation as a leading crypto infrastructure developer has got the Solana community excited over Firedancer.<\/p>\n<p>Jump Trading is a proprietary trading firm that specializes in developing algorithmic and high-frequency trading strategies<\/p>\n<p>The industry is hoping that Jump can use its experience in developing large-scale global trading infrastructure to build a validator client software that can supercharge Solana&#8217;s scalability and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Solana mainnet block production has stalled on four occasions, requiring manual intervention of hundreds of validator operators to perform a recovery.
