According to Odaily Planet Daily, Kuleen Nimkar, head of DePIN at the Solana Foundation, said that Solana plans to release a full version of the Firedancer upgrade in 2025 and launch a "lite version" before that. The upgrade aims to improve Solana's overall reliability and scalability to cope with the growing network activity of decentralized infrastructure protocols. Speaking about the DePIN activity at DEFICON on May 23, Kuleen said: "We are seeing a large number of emerging deep projects doing everything." DePIN, or decentralized physical infrastructure network, refers to the use of blockchain to manage and operate physical infrastructure systems.
