ICM Infrastructure Talk
summary
Panel argues Solana can scale on L1 and lists concrete infrastructure already built: a dedicated fiber network for validators that reduces worst-hop latency, an encrypted state runtime (Archium) to run private programs on Solana, a block-space reservation service that lets apps book block space ahead of time or just-in-time, and an institutional RPC/index provider with SOC 2 Type II and exchange-grade uptime. Claims include “SIG-verify” as a near-term bottleneck and that tradfi venues like NASDAQ would be the first to break under massive tokenization.
