New Solana proposal aims to fix scalability issues with ‘lattice’ system

Published

Solana developers have introduced a proposal, SIMD-215, to enhance the network’s scalability by implementing a lattice-based homomorphic hashing function. This initiative aims to address the “state growth problem,” which complicates the verification and tracking of user accounts as their numbers increase.

Currently, Solana must regularly recalculate the state of all accounts, a process that becomes increasingly burdensome with user growth. The proposed hashing function would streamline this by enabling instant verification, eliminating the need for comprehensive recalculations. This approach allows the network to update state verifications by processing only the accounts that have changed, thereby improving efficiency.

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, previously highlighted this issue, noting that new account creation requires proof of uniqueness, which is resource-intensive under the current system. The lattice-based hashing function is designed to mitigate these challenges, facilitating the management of billions of accounts without necessitating a full global index.

If implemented, this proposal could significantly enhance Solana’s speed and efficiency, reinforcing its position in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Notably, Solana’s decentralized exchanges have recently outperformed Ethereum’s in trading volume, indicating robust growth and adoption within its ecosystem.
