Last year, @buffalu__ authored SIMD-0286, which proposed raising the block limit to 100m CUs. Today, it was finally merged—a major step in increasing bandwidth for Solana. Block space on Solana is a finite resource that block producers have to carefully budget when packing transactions into a block. Raising the block limit to 100m CUs increases the amount of block space available in each block, resulting in higher TPS and higher rewards per block. As the largest block producer on Solana, we are excited about the impact of SIMD-0286 and optimizing Jito's block building infrastructure to maximize the value in every block. Accelerate.
