"Solana Is an Unstoppable Network…Major Upgrades to Performance and Market Structure" [Breakpoint 2025]

Anza, the core developer of the Solana (SOL) network, unveiled a blueprint to massively reorganize network performance and market structure.

On the 11th (local time) at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, at 'Solana Breakpoint 2025', Brennan Watt, Anza's Vice President of Core Engineering, said, "Solana has processed more than 200 billion transactions over the past two years and has established itself as the industry's most robust network," announcing plans for performance improvements and market structure reforms.

Watt cited continuous uptime and high network resiliency as Solana's core strengths. He said, "Solana has maintained block production even under extreme traffic, malicious requests, and extreme stress on virtual machines (VM)," explaining, "This is the result of the engineering team testing the network daily under various failure scenarios."

He said, "The engineering goals going forward are to expand block capacity, minimize latency, and improve compute efficiency," adding, "In 2025 block capacity has increased by about 25%, which leads to increased throughput per user and faster finality."

Watt presented MCP (Multiple Block Proposer·multi-block proposer model) as the focus of Solana development for next year. He said, "This is a key element to build a fair market structure," and explained, "It strengthens censorship resistance and prevents transaction hiding, creating an environment traders can trust." The strategy is to move away from a single-proposer structure to provide a more transparent and efficient trading environment.

Solana is also overhauling the developer experience by lowering storage costs and improving the account model. Watt said, "We are reducing state costs to accommodate more users, more accounts, and more applications," and added, "We will also introduce a structure that allows stakers to participate more directly in protocol revenue distribution."

Finally, he emphasized, "Solana will evolve beyond just a fast blockchain into a network with a fair and efficient market structure," and said, "We are moving toward a future where applications worldwide run on a single Global State Machine."
