Firedancer validator
An independent client written from scratch, live on mainnet since 12 Dec 2025 and past 20% of active-validator stake within 100 days. Hybrid "Frankendancer" has hit 600,000+ TPS under mainnet stress tests — a synthetic ceiling, not sustained traffic, which is why no TPS figure is plotted.
