<h4><b>Jump is improving Solana’s speed and reliability by developing Firedancer. </b></h4> 
<p>Firedancer aims to work on Solana’s existing validator client for increased reliability. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stay glued to this article to get into the details important topic for Solana. But before that, let’s see what a validator is all about.</span></p> 
<h5><b>What are Validators?</b></h5> 
<p><a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=validator" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Validators</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are a group of computers that check and confirm transactions. In other words, they help blockchains keep running smoothly and earn rewards for their work. They also keep the chain safe from attacks. Here is a video series about Validators on Solana if you are more interested:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Validators’ clients</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are the tools validators use in performing their tasks. Validators use different tools to perform them. So, h</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">aving many clients gives the network a better chance of keeping the network safe. For example, the second could continue the process if one validator client encounters a fault. At the time of publication, there are two main Validator clients on the Solana network and </span><a href="https://x.com/jump_?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jump</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is building a new validator client on Solana. Let’s jump right in.</span></p> 
<h5><b>Why is Jump Building a New Validator Client?</b></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Solana network experienced frequent pauses in the last few years. These pauses reduce the transaction speed and slow down the network operation. So, with Jump converting in a Solana validator, this will drastically reduce the chances of happening again. However, the problem is with the software that helps approve the network functionality. This is why Jump is building software that fixes this and strengthens Solana’s network.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jump is integrating its expertise into Solana’s network to make things work. Here is an example of how Jump can boost Solana’s capacity:</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You have a fast CPU with many cores, like the Intel Core i9 13900k. It can process a lot of data, but the signals between its many cores can’t move as fast as the CPU can process your information. This is only because the CPU contains materials light can’t pass through.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> So, the CPU might process information at high speeds, but the signals can’t meet up with that same speed. Regardless of the many cores and CPU power, the speed of light still holds us back. To resolve this issue, we need to look for ways to maximize its usage. </span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, now imagine that the CPU is Solana’s blockchain and signals are the number of validators. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/MessariCrypto/status/1666094090092711944" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Messari</a>, Jump can make Solana reach 1 million transactions per second. However, this impressive number needs a lot of work to be a reality.</span></p>

 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">4/ Scalability is worth billions in the crypto space, as networks strive to solve scalability.</p> 
 <p>The network that cracks this challenge will have a significant advantage in achieving widespread adoption.</p> 
 <p>Validator node-to-node communications lie at the core of this problem.</p>
