Jump Crypto 的「Frankendancer」驗證器用戶端已在 Solana 主網上上線

搖搖欲墜的驗證器用戶端是 Jump 備受期待的 Firedancer 軟體的前奏。

An early version of Jump Crypto's Solana validator, Firedancer, is now live and contributing to the performance of the Solana blockchain, according to Jump's Chief Science Officer Kevin Bowers, who shared the news during an onstage appearance at Solana's Breakpoint conference on Friday.

Jump 首席科學官 Kevin Bowers 在周五 Solana 斷點會議上分享了這一消息，他表示，Jump Crypto 的 Solana 驗證器 Firedancer 的早期版本現已上線，並為 Solana 區塊鏈的性能做出了貢獻。

Bowers also revealed an "open secret" within Solana's validator community, where some of the computing power that underpins Solana is in fact running "Frankendancer" software, which combines elements of the predominant validator tech with new contributions from Jump.

Bowers 還透露了 Solana 驗證器社區內的一個“公開秘密”，其中支撐 Solana 的一些計算能力實際上正在運行“Frankendancer”軟體，該軟體結合了主要驗證器技術的元素與 Jump 的新貢獻。

In the most essential process that runs a blockchain, validators ingest transactions and construct blocks. While most networks have a single validator client, Solana is aiming to have two fully independent validators – one from a Solana spinoff team, Anza, and one from Jump – which would provide greater redundancy and potentially boost performance.

在運行區塊鏈的最基本過程中，驗證器攝取交易並建立區塊。雖然大多數網路只有一個驗證器用戶端，但Solana 的目標是擁有兩個完全獨立的驗證器——一個來自Solana 衍生團隊Anza，另一個來自Jump——這將提供更大的冗餘並有可能提高性能。

Such behind-the-scenes and in-the-weeds tech developments might seem like a yawner to some, but at Breakpoint it received top billing. The sellout conference's largest stage was standing room only as Bowers emerged to a rockstar-like atmosphere.

對某些人來說，這種幕後和幕後的技術發展可能看起來像是個哈欠，但在《斷點》中，它受到了最高的關注。當鮑爾斯出現在搖滾明星般的氛圍中時，座無虛席的會議最大的舞台上只剩下站著的地方。

"We view this project as the consumer science equivalent of civil engineering," Bowers said of the effort to build the second validator client. He compared the potential impact of Firedancer to expanding a country road into an interstate highway.

「我們認為這個專案相當於土木工程的消費科學，」鮑爾斯在談到建立第二個驗證器客戶端的努力時說道。他將 Firedancer 的潛在影響比喻為將鄉村道路擴建為州際高速公路。

Bowers did not provide many details on when Firedancer – the fully new client software, as opposed to Frankendancer – will come online. However, he did mention that it is currently running on testnet, indicating that it has achieved minimum viability and is getting closer to being ready.

Bowers 並未提供有關 Firedancer（與 Frankendancer 相對）的全新用戶端軟體何時上線的詳細資訊。不過，他確實提到它目前正在測試線上運行，這表明它已經實現了最低限度的可行性，並且越來越接近準備就緒。
