Frequently
Asked Questions.
Firedancer throughput, Proof of History synchronization, and token extensions.
Visit our comprehensive FAQ hub01What is Firedancer and how does it advance Solana's throughput?
Firedancer is an independent validator software client built from scratch in C++ by Jump Crypto. By optimizing the networking stack with QUIC and maximizing hardware parallelization, it aims to deliver over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) on testnets while ensuring client diversity.
02How does Proof of History (PoH) synchronize Solana validators?
Proof of History is a cryptographic verifiable delay function (VDF) that creates a cryptographically verifiable order of events before consensus is reached. This removes the latency overhead of network-wide node communication, maintaining consistent ~400-millisecond block intervals.
03What are Solana Token Extensions and how do they support institutions?
Token Extensions (formerly SPL-2022) provide native programmable features at the protocol level, including Zero-Knowledge confidential transfers, interest-bearing tokens, and compliance transfer hooks designed for institutional tokenization.
04How do Solana's Local Fee Markets prevent ecosystem-wide congestion?
Solana's execution scheduler isolates priority fee spikes to specific contended state accounts. A viral meme-coin trade or NFT mint on Raydium increases fees only for interactions with that specific pool, leaving payments and other DeFi applications completely unaffected.
