Firedancer is an alternative Solana validator client implementation developed by Jump Crypto. It's designed to enhance the resilience, performance, and security of the Solana network through client diversity.

By running multiple independent client implementations, the Solana network becomes more robust against bugs or vulnerabilities that might affect a single client implementation. Firedancer clients can be identified by version numbers starting with "0." in the Solana network.

The metrics above show the current adoption of Firedancer across the Solana validator network, measured by both stake percentage and validator count. Data is sourced directly from the Solana blockchain using RPC queries.
