Solana has increased block capacity by 66%, but traders still face bottlenecks with popular accounts

According to CryptoSlate, Solana increased the block computation unit limit from 60 million to 100 million on July 29, a 66.7% increase. This adjustment provides more parallel processing space for unrelated transactions, reducing the block occupancy rate of a single popular account from the original 20% to 12%.

However, the computation limit for writing to the same account in each block remains at 12 million CU, and the incremental data limit for accounts is still 100 MB, which means the congestion bottleneck for popular accounts has not been fundamentally resolved. If a large number of transactions need to be written to the same popular account (such as a high-volume DEX or liquidation contract), they are still subject to this limit. The officials did not provide actual comparative data on transaction confirmation rates, fees, block propagation, or replay before and after the upgrade.
