Scalability of Single-Chain Architectures: A Case Study of Solana Validator Client Firedancer

Modular and scalable solutions divide functions into different chains, while the single-chain approach is to achieve Web2-level scalability on Layer1. Messari explores the scalability solutions of single-chain using Solana validator client Firedancer as an example.

Firedancer is an independent Solana validator client developed by Jump Crypto using C++. It aims to achieve scalability by rewriting each component of Solana’s architecture. It solves the Transaction Propagation problem through fd_quic and achieves load balancing through hardware and software optimization.

Firedancer’s performance demonstration shows that it can achieve 1.08 million TPS with only four CPU cores, surpassing Solana’s recommended 12-core setting. Further optimization and expansion of the consensus and execution layers are also underway.

The success of Firedancer has the following positive impacts: 1. By reducing latency, it makes decentralized exchanges closer in price to centralized exchanges; 2. By achieving millions of TPS on-chain, it benefits high-throughput financial and consumer applications, such as social media; 3. By introducing client diversity, it increases the robustness of the Solana chain. Risks: execution, timing, and competitiveness.
