A new Solana proposal aims to fix transit problems with a ‘lattice’ system.

Solana's developers have proposed a new hashing system that changes how the Solana network verifies and tracks user accounts to fix problems with mass usage.

In a January 6 proposal named CMD-215, developers introduced a “lattice-based homomorphic hashing function” that would change the way blockchain tracks user accounts.

“The ultimate goal is to balance Solanna's billions of accounts and compute the ‘hash of all accounts' in real time and space,” the proposal reads.

Currently, the Solana network needs to regularly calculate the “state” of all accounts, which means that as the number of users increases, the process of recalculating the state becomes more tedious.

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana Labs, discussed this issue – dubbed the “problem of government growth” – in a post to X on May 11 last year.

“The problem comes with this simple thing. Creating a new account should actually create a new account. That means a new account must somehow prove to be new,” Yakovenko wrote.

“This is easy to do if the runtime has a full global index of all accounts. But the way to ensure that such an account is new is expensive, as each node must have a full index of all accounts at runtime.”

According to the proposal, The Accounts Lattice Hash update eliminates the need to recalculate all states by introducing faster verification.

Additionally, the “homomorphic hashing” component of the concept technically allows the Solana network to update its state verification by processing only changed tags.

In the year In a Jan. 7 post to X, crypto research firm Republic Labs laid out the intended outcome of the proposal in simple terms.

“Think of it like cleaning a house. Instead of cleaning every room every day, you only clean the messy areas. This saves time and effort by keeping everything organized,” writes Republic Labs.

If implemented, the proposal could significantly improve the speed and efficiency of Solana's network.

Solana is currently at the center of onchain activity in the DeFi and crypto space, generating 43% more volume than the Ethereum network on various decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the past month.

The Solana network has seen more than $113 billion in trades across DEXs. In comparison, Ethereum's mainnet saw $78.9 billion on Solana, showing continued growth over its main competitors, according to Defilama data.
