What do you think about their new validator client, Firedancer and Frankendancer? Do you think it will help the chain and the scale on which it aims, but sometimes lacks due to the outages? As I remember, the last one was pretty a while ago (in February, I believe).

What about Firedancer/Frankendancer? The new node implemention by Jump Crypto written in C aims to fix network stability issues once and for all. It also aims to improve network performance. As far as I know, Firedancer already launched in Testnet. It should only be a matter of time before it's deployed to the mainnet.

Can you imagine if this works? Then Solana will become a major ETH contender in the long run. I think it's worth buying just because there's hope it'll improve in the future. Having some SOL in your portfolio wouldn't hurt. I'd diversify my investment to play it safe. Who knows? Maybe SOL will reach a new ATH soon. With "meme" coins, gaming, and NFTs getting overhyped on the Solana chain, anything's possible.
