Summary

Solana's new roadmap introduces the concept of 'Internet Capital Markets,' focusing on Application-Controlled Execution (ACE) to improve transaction sequencing in on-chain financial applications. Co-authored by leaders from the Solana Foundation and various partners, the roadmap addresses market microstructure challenges and outlines initiatives across short, medium, and long-term timelines, including the launch of Jito Labs’ Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) and enhancements to network latency and bandwidth. These upgrades aim to create a decentralized financial system that outperforms centralized alternatives.

Terms & Concepts
  • Application-Controlled Execution (ACE): A proposed framework aimed at optimizing trading applications by allowing them to control execution processes on-chain.
  • Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM): A transaction processing system designed to enhance performance for Solana validators, traders, and applications, enabling privacy and transparency in on-chain trading.
  • Multiple Concurrent Leaders (MCL): An upgrade allowing multiple validators to propose transactions simultaneously, addressing the limitations of the 'Single Leader Problem' in blockchain networks.
