Solana proposes a new hashing system to improve network scalability

Solana developers propose using a lattice-based hashing technique to improve network scalability. This method would allow the Solana blockchain to manage billions of accounts more efficiently, increasing speed while decreasing computing strain.

To overcome scalability issues and enhance performance, Solana developers proposed a new hashing technique that simplifies how the blockchain tracks user credentials. The SIMD-215 proposal introduces a “lattice-based homomorphic hashing function” that intends to address challenges caused by the network’s rapid expansion and increased user activity.

The major purpose of this proposal is to allow the Solana network to support billions of user accounts while efficiently managing the state of all accounts without the need for continual recalculation. Currently, as the network grows, recalculating the status for each account gets more complex and time-consuming.

The new lattice hashing technique tries to solve this problem by employing a unique method that rapidly checks account modifications. The “homomorphic hashing” technique allows the system to process only the accounts that have changed, which speeds up the process and reduces the network’s processing burden.

Researchers provide an illustration to better understand this: rather than cleaning the entire house every day, this system would simply “tidy up” the rooms that need attention. This effective method would conserve resources while maintaining organization.

If the suggestion is implemented, it might dramatically increase the Solana blockchain’s scalability and efficiency, allowing it to manage a considerably bigger user base while avoiding the performance concerns that many blockchain networks suffer as they scale.

This breakthrough comes at a vital time for Solana, as it competes with Ethereum and other blockchain platforms, and it has the potential to strengthen Solana’s position in the decentralized finance (DeFi) field.
