Solana 加快了 Firedancer 的測試，這是備受期待的軟體升級

自 2022 年以來，該升級一直在進行中，當時鏈條經常出現故障，此次升級被視為對 Solana 穩定性和速度的提升。

Solana is ramping up testing of Firedancer, a highly anticipated software upgrade promising to significantly increase the blockchain's processing speed.

Solana 正在加大 Firedancer 的測試力度，這是一項備受期待的軟體升級，預計將大幅提高區塊鏈的處理速度。

By the end of the week, Solana's core developers want a "super majority" of processing power on the chain's low-stakes test network to run through Frankendancer, an early version of Firedancer, according to messages in Solana's technical Discord server.

根據 Solana 技術 Discord 伺服器中的消息，到本週末，Solana 的核心開發人員希望該鏈的低風險測試網路上的「絕大多數」處理能力能夠透過 Firedancer（Firedancer 的早期版本）運作。

The call-to-action to Solana's validators – those who run computers that power the network – marks Firedancer's biggest test yet. The upgrade has been in the works since 2022, when the chain frequently faltered, and is seen as a boost to Solana's stability and speed.

對 Solana 驗證者（運行為網路提供動力的電腦的驗證者）的號召性用語標誌著 Firedancer 迄今為止最大的測試。自 2022 年以來，該升級一直在進行中，當時鏈條經常出現故障，此次升級被視為對 Solana 穩定性和速度的提升。

Firedancer's proponents believe the software – developed by the crypto arm of trading giant Jump – will give Solana an unbeatable edge in crypto's race to woo global financial markets onto blockchains. They point to its theoretical speed: one million transactions per second, orders of magnitude faster than any blockchain-based system today.

Firedancer 的支持者相信，由交易巨頭 Jump 的加密貨幣部門開發的軟體將使 Solana 在加密貨幣競賽中獲得無與倫比的優勢，以吸引全球金融市場進入區塊鏈。他們指出其理論速度：每秒一百萬筆交易，比當今任何基於區塊鏈的系統快幾個數量級。

Firedancer itself doesn't yet have a launch date. For now, Jump Crypto has only launched Frankendancer, which is a hybrid combining elements from Firedancer and Solana's predominant client architecture. Only a small subset of validators had adopted Frankendancer before this week; many told CoinDesk they found it buggy and prone to crashes.

Firedancer 本身還沒有發布日期。目前，Jump Crypto 只推出了 Frankendancer，它是 Firedancer 和 Solana 主要客戶端架構元素的混合體。在本週之前，只有一小部分驗證者採用了 Frankendancer；許多人告訴 CoinDesk，他們發現它有問題並且容易崩潰。

"It's been notoriously difficult to keep that thing alive and running but we've done it," said Kollen House, a longtime member of Solana's validator community. He sees the new push for broader Frankendancer adoption as a sign of the software's "maturity."

Solana 驗證者社區的長期成員 Kollen House 表示：“眾所周知，要讓這個東西保持活力並運行是非常困難的，但我們已經做到了。”他認為弗蘭肯舞者更廣泛採用的新推動是該軟體「成熟」的標誌。

"If you have confidence to say, 'Hey we want 60% of testnet to run this client,' then we're getting there," House said.

House 表示：“如果你有信心說，‘嘿，我們希望 60% 的測試網來運行這個客戶端’，那麼我們就能實現這一目標。”

Crypto networks like Solana are powered by hundreds of individual validators. Each independently runs a computer loaded with "client" software that connects them to the network. Such decentralization helps blockchains stay secure, but it makes system upgrades much harder to coordinate.

像 Solana 這樣的加密網路由數百個單獨的驗證器提供支援。每個人獨立運行一台裝有「客戶端」軟體的計算機，將它們連接到網路。這種去中心化有助於區塊鏈保持安全，但也使得系統升級更難以協調。

For years now, the Solana Foundation, a non-profit that stewards the network, has partially addressed that coordination dilemma via subsidies. Its "delegation program" helps smaller validators — those who don't have much staked SOL, and therefore earn less revenue for their work validating the chain — stay profitable. It frequently cajoles validators into keeping their software up-to-date by threatening to revoke the delegated stake of those who fall behind on upgrades.

多年來，管理該網絡的非營利組織 Solana 基金會透過補助部分解決了這種協調困境。它的「委託計劃」幫助規模較小的驗證者（那些沒有太多質押 SOL 的驗證者，因此在驗證鏈上獲得的收入較少）保持盈利。它經常威脅要撤銷升級落後者的委託權益，誘使驗證者保持軟體最新。

For the first time on Tuesday, the Solana Foundation used that subsidy carrot-and-stick to directly promote the adoption of Frankendancer. Validators have only a few days left to switch their testnet systems to the new client before losing their delegated stake.

週二，索拉納基金會首次使用胡蘿蔔加大棒的補貼來直接促進弗蘭肯舞者的採用。驗證者只剩下幾天的時間將其測試網系統切換到新客戶端，然後就會失去其委託權益。

"At present, it seems like they're getting there," said Jon, a validator operator who says he has been running Frankendancer for several months. "Around 30% of validators on testnet are running Frankendancer now, but still think they're short of the supermajority."

「目前看來他們正在實現這一目標，」驗證者操作員 Jon 說，他說他已經運行 Frankendancer 幾個月了。 “測試網上大約 30% 的驗證者現在正在運行 Frankendancer，但仍然認為他們還沒有達到絕對多數。”
