Jump Crypto 的“Frankendancer”验证器客户端已在 Solana 主网上上线

摇摇欲坠的验证器客户端是 Jump 备受期待的 Firedancer 软件的前奏。

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 首席科学官 Kevin Bowers 在周五 Solana 断点会议上分享了这一消息，他表示，Jump Crypto 的 Solana 验证器 Firedancer 的早期版本现已上线，并为 Solana 区块链的性能做出了贡献。

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 还透露了 Solana 验证器社区内的一个“公开秘密”，其中支撑 Solana 的一些计算能力实际上正在运行“Frankendancer”软件，该软件结合了主要验证器技术的元素与 Jump 的新贡献。

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.

在运行区块链的最基本过程中，验证器摄取交易并构建区块。虽然大多数网络只有一个验证器客户端，但 Solana 的目标是拥有两个完全独立的验证器——一个来自 Solana 衍生团队 Anza，另一个来自 Jump——这将提供更大的冗余并有可能提高性能。

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.

对于一些人来说，这种幕后和幕后的技术发展可能看起来像是一个哈欠，但在《断点》中，它受到了最高的关注。当鲍尔斯出现在摇滚明星般的氛围中时，座无虚席的会议最大的舞台上只剩下站着的地方。

"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.

“我们认为这个项目相当于土木工程的消费科学，”鲍尔斯在谈到构建第二个验证器客户端的努力时说道。他将 Firedancer 的潜在影响比作将乡村道路扩建为州际高速公路。

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 没有提供有关 Firedancer（与 Frankendancer 相对）的全新客户端软件何时上线的详细信息。不过，他确实提到它目前正在测试网上运行，这表明它已经实现了最低限度的可行性，并且越来越接近准备就绪。
