Solana is set to launch a full version of the Firedancer upgrade in 2025, with preliminary versions rolling out beforehand. The upgrade aims to enhance Solana's reliability and scalability amid growing network activity from decentralized infrastructure protocols. DePIN, or decentralized physical infrastructure networks, are seeing a surge in use cases within the Solana ecosystem, from decentralized energy solutions to data collection. However, network congestion and outages remain challenges for developers. The recent outage on Feb. 9 caused nearly five hours of downtime for the Solana network.
