According to market news, Jito Labs announced the launch of the IBRL Explorer tool, which transparently showcases the construction details within Solana blocks for the first time.The tool has discovered widespread behaviors such as "Late Packing" and "Slot Timing Games" in the Solana network, which affect state propagation efficiency, increase latency, and weaken network stability. The IBRL Explorer generates an IBRL score for each validator through three scoring mechanisms: Slot Time, Vote Packing, and Non-Vote Packing, aiming to enhance block construction quality and network performance.

The Jito community has released proposal JIP-31, which suggests redistributing 100% of protocol revenue to BAM validators.

At the beginning of this year, Solana's per-block computational limit was about 48 million compute units, which was then raised to 50 million and 60 million compute units. It is expected to leap to 100 million compute units by early next year and continue to grow exponentially.
