5B/ Follow Amdahlโ€™s Law Distributed heterogeneous systems are vulnerable to Amdahlโ€™s โ€œstreet justiceโ€ where anything left unoptimized can be performance-limiting. So, we optimize as we go.

3/ An early realization was that reliability is derived from the performance: We work to ensure stable operation during peak network loads by designing and optimizing components for far higher throughput than validators would realistically face.

3/ Jumpโ€™s Involvement From a networking point of view, Jumpโ€™s experience in building systems is highly advantageous. Since a distributed heterogenous mixture of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICS is bread-and-butter for Jump, we felt the most prepared to undertake this challenge.

6/ These test networks will be subjected to various attacks and failures, such as duplicate nodes, failing network links, transaction floods, and consensus violations. We're also building a large corpus of automated unit and fuzz tests to cover every consensus-critical code path.

8/ Firedancer's modular architecture should also yield an appreciable improvement in operational resiliency. Modules can be reconfigured and upgraded very quickly with minimal impact on production.

9/ Robustness necessarily also includes security. We mitigate the possibility of widespread network bugs by working to reduce the number of components shared with the Solana Rust validator to a minimum.

10/ We are cognizant of the security risks introduced by modern supply chains, which often include hundreds of individual dependencies. While convenient, this causes difficulties in keeping all imported code audited.

11/ Firedancer takes a different approach by using a minimal amount of dependencies that are included in the code review lifecycle. Furthermore, the build system is fully deterministic, allowing users to independently audit binary releases.

5A/ Location, Location, Location Apps like Firedancer need to be locality aware for high performance. If an applicationโ€™s data flow is not optimized up-front, optimizing it later will be a complete rewrite, not a quick recompile. cont.

12/ Of course, we are working with independent security auditors to continually review the Firedancer codebase, as well as hosting a public bug bounty program for responsible disclosure of security concerns.

6/ Meet Frank Weโ€™re working incrementally to stay in sync with Solanaโ€™s ongoing development. Our Frankendancer approach stitches our components into Solanaโ€™s existing validator and slowly builds a brand-new validator.
