Solana launches P-Token upgrade with 20x efficiency boost on mainnet
The post Solana launches P-Token upgrade with 20x efficiency boost on mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana has officially deployed its long-awaited P-Token upgrade on mainnet, delivering a major throughput increase that developers say could make token-related transactions up to 20 times more efficient across the network. Summary Solana’s P-Token upgrade is now live on mainnet, cutting token instruction compute costs by as much as 96%. The upgrade frees roughly 12% to 13% of network block space without increasing Solana’s block limit. Developers say the rollout is fully backward compatible, allowing existing SPL token apps and wallets to continue operating normally. The launch was first reported by ChainCatcher, citing ecosystem updates shared by SolanaFloor. The upgrade, formally known as the Optimized Token Program or SIMD-0266, dramatically lowers compute consumption for token operations while increasing usable network capacity.
