PANews reported on September 29th that according to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana. Their SIMD-0370 proposal proposes removing the current fixed limit of 60 million CUs per block (a previous proposal had raised this limit to 100 million) after Solana's major Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for testing later this year. Without a fixed limit, block size would adjust based on the transaction volume accommodated by high-performance validators, while weaker validators would automatically abstain from voting on oversized blocks by skipping the voting mechanism. The proposal argues that removing the limit would encourage well-funded block producers to upgrade their hardware and add more transactions to increase revenue, incentivizing others to follow suit, creating a "flywheel effect" and increasing the average capacity of validator clients. Roger Wattenhofer, head of research at Anza and a driving force behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, supports removing the limit but also expresses concerns about potential centralization and network stability risks. He stated that these issues are solvable and that he has been a staunch supporter of removing the limit.PANews reported on September 29th that according to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana.

Here’s What $100 in Dogecoin (DOGE) Will Be Worth by the End of 2025 Compared to Solana (SOL) and Little Pepe (LILPEPE)

The post Here’s What $100 in Dogecoin (DOGE) Will Be Worth by the End of 2025 Compared to Solana (SOL) and Little Pepe (LILPEPE) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SPONSORED POST* If you invested $100 today, projections suggest that by the end of 2025, Dogecoin (DOGE) could grow to $700, Solana (SOL) to $500, but Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is showing an entirely different trajectory, potentially reaching $10,000. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) recently sold out its 12th stage of presale and entered stage 13, now priced at $0.0022.  Investors at this stage are already looking at a guaranteed 30% ROI at launch, but projections based on current momentum and buyer activity suggest potential returns well beyond that, possibly 10x or more if demand continues. The project has raised over $26 million and sold 16 billion tokens faster than expected, highlighting both the speed of adoption and the potential for outsized gains compared to other major coins. Comparing $100 Investments: Dogecoin, Solana, and Little Pepe’s Potential Returns Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading at approximately $0.2845, reflecting a 7.3% increase from the previous close. Despite recent gains, DOGE remains down over 60% from its 2021 high of $0.73. Analysts predict that as DOGE rises by the end of 2025, a $100 investment could grow to $700. Solana (SOL) is currently priced at $250.72, up 7.3% from the previous close. With a total value locked (TVL) of $12 billion and speculation around ETF approval and a potential Nasdaq listing, SOL is projected to turn the same $100 investment into $500 by year-end. In contrast, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), still in its presale phase, has raised over $25.47 million and sold over 15.75 billion tokens, surpassing expectations. Priced at $0.0022 in Stage 13, LILPEPE offers a guaranteed 30% ROI from its listing price of $0.003. Given its rapid growth and strong community engagement, analysts predict a potential 100x return by 2027, making a $100 investment worth $10,000. While DOGE and SOL offer established investment opportunities with moderate…
