In a long-term roadmap, the Solana blockchain team lays out their plan. In order to have the Solana blockchain serve as the backbone of internet capital markets (ICMs) by the year 2027.
Akshay, a former core team member of the Solana Foundation, coined the term “ICMs” to describe a “globally accessible ledger where entities, currencies, and cultures are tokenized,” which would make capital markets available to “anyone with an internet connection.”
Aiming to tackle market microstructure and scalability
Moreover, as stated in Solana’s latest Internet Capital Markets Roadmap, the “decentralized backbone” for ICMs was the “original mission.” The paper noted that although lowering latency and increasing bandwidth (IBRL) are essential. They are not enough to accomplish this vision.
Furthermore, it went on to say that market microstructure is Solana’s biggest issue right now. And that ACE is a critical part of the answer to create a decentralized, high-performance market for transactions. To provide a “flexible market microstructure” on the mainnet, Solana’s 2027 roadmap suggests several architectural enhancements.
Launching Jito’s Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) transaction processing system—designed to provide validators and traders with additional capabilities to “improve performance and create value”—is planned within the next three months, and the BAM testnet launch is scheduled for the coming days.
The deployment of DoubleZero, an isolated peer-to-peer fiber network intended to replace the public internet for Solana transactions, is emphasized as an intermediate-term objective. Midway through September, the network is expected to deploy fully with a testnet consisting of more than 100 validators and 3 percent of the mainnet stake.
The most recent network update at Solana raised block capacity to 60 million compute units, a 20 percent increase. These improvements follow that upgrade, and further throughput enhancements are anticipated before the end of 2025.
