The Solana Optimistic Network (#SOON ) has launched its public testnet, marking a significant step in blockchain scalability. The testnet is fully integrated with the decoupled Solana Virtual Machine (#SVM ), which improves compatibility with Ethereum's fraud proofs. This integration allows for seamless operation with Ethereum's fraud detection systems while expanding into a broader decentralized ecosystem.
Recent benchmarks for SOON show impressive performance, achieving 30,000 transactions per second (TPS) and 50-millisecond block times. This positions SOON as a potential solution to scalability issues faced by both Solana and Ethereum networks, enhancing dApp performance on its platform.
SOON's development has attracted notable industry figures, including Lily Liu (Solana Foundation), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana Labs co-founder), and Jonathan King (Coinbase Ventures), who supported the project through its "co-builder" round. This strategic backing reinforces SOON’s goal of becoming a leading blockchain solution for scalable, high-performance applications - #COINCU
