Firedancer is live on Solana mainnet. After years of development, Jump Crypto's independent validator client is producing blocks in production.
Running alongside Firedancer is another infrastructure shift that doesn't get enough attention. The P-Token upgrade is now live on mainnet, cutting compute units for token transfers from several thousand down to seventy-six.
On the institutional side, the signals are genuinely mixed, and the split is worth reading carefully. Solana ETFs pulled in fifty-eight point two million dollars in net inflows during the week ending May fifteenth.
The contrasting position comes from DeFi Development Corporation, which now holds two hundred eighteen million dollars in Solana and claims it's more than doubled SOL per share over the past twelve months. Their argument is structural.
SOL itself is stuck between eighty-six and ninety dollars, and that zone is fragile. If ninety fails to hold as support, the next meaningful floor is closer to seventy-six.
