Solana has implemented SIMD-0207, with block restrictions increased by 4%

PANews reported on April 15 that according to SolanaFloor, with the implementation of SIMD-0207, Solana engineers increased the block size of the chain by 4%. This change allows more data to be packaged into the Solana block, and in theory more transactions can be packaged into a single block, thereby increasing the transaction throughput of the network. Originally proposed by Anza engineer Andrew Fitzgerald, SIMD-0207 has been successfully implemented on-chain, increasing Solana's block limit to 50 million CUs, an increase of 4%.

Increasing block limits to the network is just a small step on Solana's expansion roadmap. Future network governance proposals and upgrades will target continuous and gradual improvements to help Solana grow. For example, SIMD-0256 intends to further increase the block limit to 60 million CUs, a 25% increase from the level before SIMD-0207 implementation.
