Solana developer Cantelopepeel has officially announced his departure from the organization to establish Unto Labs, as reported on January 23rd by COINOTAG News. This new venture aims to create a Layer1 blockchain that promises significant advancements in network performance. Cantelopepeel, who was instrumental as the core engineer of the Firedancer client, demonstrated remarkable capabilities at Breakpoint 2024, achieving a staggering 1 million transactions per second and 10 billion compute units per second. The development of Unto Labs will entail a comprehensive overhaul of existing systems, focusing on a completely restructured architecture that will redesign both the virtual machine and the consensus mechanism. Notably, the new blockchain framework will not adopt the SVM chain model, marking a significant shift in direction for Cantelopepeel’s innovative endeavors.
