Solana Hits $200 as BAM Architecture Promises Faster, Fairer Transactions

The Solana price has hit $200 for the first time since February, following the announcement of the Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) — an innovative block creation architecture developed by Jito Labs and the Jito Foundation. BAM aims to speed up transaction execution, reduce MEV, and grant programmable control over block space, with a launch expected soon. It employs a network of scheduler nodes within a trusted execution environment, which privately determine transaction order before submission to validators, thus preventing frontrunning and promoting fairness. Additionally, BAM introduces a plugin system that allows developers to set custom rules for transaction prioritization and fee collection.
