The Solana development company Anza announced that it has officially recommended the mainnet validators upgrade to Agave 4. This upgrade introduces XDP for Turbine, QUIC-only TPU data access, a faster replay stage, and several SIMD features that will be activated during this cycle.Anza stated that production environment tests on large mainnet validators showed that XDP has reduced the Turbine retransmission delay from about 600 ms to approximately 0.8 ms, providing critical performance headroom for Solana's push towards 100 million CU blocks. Additionally, Agave 4 has completely removed UDP transaction access, making QUIC the only transaction submission method; PoH entry verification and Ed25519 signature verification have also been removed from the critical path and processed asynchronously to enhance replay stage performance.This round of upgrades will also gradually enable several SIMD features, including p-token (an SPL Token alternative that can free up about 13% of block capacity), Stake Program v5, SBPFv3 support, pre-funded account creation, and BLS12-381 syscall, among others.

ChainCatcher news, Solana's new software development company Anza tweeted that it has made significant progress after collaborating with core contributors to analyze the root causes of Solana network congestion and evaluate multiple potential changes, with hopes to start releasing fixes next week. In addition, the Anza team tested a patch for the current network congestion yesterday. The officials stated that the core issues are related to the QUIC implementation and the behavior of the Agave validator client when handling a large number of requests. The team will roll out more improvements and changes over the coming months.
