Solana's Firedancer Mainnet Debut on December 12, 2025 Lifts SOL 5%

On December 12, 2025, Solana said Firedancer, a validator client built by Jump Crypto, moved out of controlled testing and went live on mainnet. Markets responded with SOL up about 5% and trading near $140, while controlled tests reportedly spanned over 100 days and produced more than 50,000 blocks without downtime.
