If you're deep into the world of meme tokens on Solana, you know speed is everything. Pump.fun launches, viral trades, and those split-second snipes can make or break your portfolio. That's why the latest buzz from Anza is turning heads: their Jetstreamer tool just clocked an insane 1.5 million transactions per second (TPS) on Solana. Yeah, you read that right—1.5M TPS, smashing their previous internal record of 1.27M.

This milestone was spotlighted by Brian Long, a Boulder-based entrepreneur and blockchain advocate known for his work on projects like Wormhole and Pyth. In his enthusiastic tweet, Long cheered on the achievement, calling out Old Faithful as "critical Solana infrastructure." He emphasized how it's open source and open data, allowing anyone to verify the blockchain's integrity from day one (Genesis) up to the latest epochs. Long even dropped a link to Old Faithful for those eager to dive in.

But let's back up and unpack what this means, especially if you're not knee-deep in Solana tech. Jetstreamer is a high-performance replay tool built by developer @Sam0xSol at Anza, a firm focused on Solana's core tech like the Agave client. It uses Geyser plugins—think of these as add-ons for Solana validators that stream transaction data in real-time. In this demo, Jetstreamer pulled data straight from Triton One's Old Faithful archive over the internet and funneled it into a Geyser plugin at breakneck speeds.

The setup? A beefy 100 Gbps machine with 64 cores, chugging along at about 13 Gbps and maxing out the CPU to hit that 1.5M TPS mark. Even on a standard 1Gbps setup, Anza expects around 100k TPS—still lightning-fast compared to many blockchains. For context, Solana already boasts some of the highest TPS in the industry, often handling thousands per second during peak meme frenzies, but this pushes the envelope further.

Why does this matter for meme tokens? Solana's ecosystem thrives on low fees and high throughput, making it the go-to chain for meme coin degens. Tools like Jetstreamer mean faster data streaming and replay, which could lead to more efficient validators, quicker indexing for DEXs like Raydium or Jupiter, and ultimately smoother experiences during those wild pumps. Imagine fewer failed transactions when everyone's piling into the next big cat-themed token.

Anza isn't stopping here—they're planning to open-source Jetstreamer's Old Faithful toolchain this fall, opening the doors for the community to build on it. This aligns perfectly with Solana's ethos of decentralization and innovation, much like how open data from Old Faithful lets developers and users cryptographically verify the chain's history.

The reaction? Pure fire. The Solana official account replied with "accelerate 🏎🏎🏎," and community members are hyped, with calls for the GitHub repo already popping up. As Brian Long put it, "Hell, Yeah! That's the way it's done." If you're building or trading memes on Solana, keep an eye on Jetstreamer—it could supercharge the next wave of on-chain madness.
