Firedancer will speed up Solana, but it won’t reach full potential

Firedancer's Limitations on Solana: Solana's new validator client, Firedancer, faces technical constraints that limit its speed on the network, prompting developers like Douglas Colkitt to test it on alternative chains like Fogo, which prioritize speed over decentralization.

Trade-offs in Blockchain Infrastructure: The ongoing tension between decentralization and speed in blockchain technology is highlighted by projects like Fogo and Hyperliquid, which aim for ultra-low latency trading experiences by reducing geographic distribution of validators, while Solana works on a roadmap to improve its performance by 2027.
