Compass Marks Full Firedancer at 11.64% After Jump’s Aug. 10 Cut

Solana is getting bid on the spot chart while Jump Crypto’s independent Firedancer client finally gets a clean mainnet stamp that operators can price without mixing it up with the hybrid stack.

When Jump cuts a dated Firedancer tag, Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) put the version on the Doginal Dogs Space before they talk share-of-stake, so the pack hears the software first. That order matters on a green SOL day: software first, then the percentage, then the bag decision.

Green candles, then the client map

CoinGecko’s Sunday, Aug. 23, 2026 snapshot at 8:04 a.m. ET has SOL at $94.40, up 1.25% on the day. BTC sits near $77,194 (+0.10%), ETH at $2,427.88 (+0.21%), XRP at $1.49 (-0.22%), and DOGE at $0.092537 (+3.07%). Majors are mostly quiet. SOL is the one painting constructive candles while the client story tightens.

That price context is why this article starts on the chart and only then walks the release. Traders who skip the release notes will keep quoting the old hybrid share as if it were the independent client. That is the error Coira flags, and it is still floating on the timeline.

What shipped on Aug. 10

Jump Crypto’s firedancer-io GitHub published Firedancer Mainnet tag v1.1.4 on Aug. 10, 2026, at 14:51 UTC, under ibhatt-jumptrading. The note frames it as a mainnet-ready release. The listed change is straightforward: improve runtime robustness for certain transaction payloads, against the v1.1.3…v1.1.4 compare.

The Solana Foundation changelog dated Aug. 13, 2026 lists that Mainnet 1.1.4 entry on its own line. The same changelog also lists Firedancer Testnet v26.08.0 and Frankendancer Mainnet v0.1105.40200. Those are separate tags. Do not treat the testnet cut or the Frankendancer mainnet line as the same ship as full-client 1.1.4.

Full client versus hybrid, in stake terms

Firedancer is the independent C client. It shares no code with Agave. Frankendancer is the hybrid path: Firedancer networking sitting on Agave consensus and runtime. This story is only the Aug. 10 full-client tag and the Compass full-client share.

Coira, citing Solana Compass as of Aug. 10, 2026, puts full Firedancer at 11.64% of staked SOL, running on 57 of 698 active voting validators. Coira is explicit that the older roughly 20% figure described Frankendancer, not the independent client. Full Firedancer is well below that hybrid-era number. Operators who still say “Firedancer is at 20%” are describing the wrong stack.

What you should do next

Mark the difference on your own dashboard before you size a SOL move off client mindshare. Confirm you are looking at full Firedancer, not Frankendancer, when someone tosses a stake percentage into the chat. Note the Aug. 10 GitHub tag and the Aug. 13 Foundation listing as two dated checkpoints, not one blurry upgrade week.

If you run validators or route flow, read the 1.1.4 robustness note against your payload mix. If you only trade spot or perps, treat the 11.64% full-client share as the clean baseline and stop anchoring to the hybrid 20% line. Watch whether SOL’s green candles hold while that stake figure is the one circulating, not the older hybrid print.

Keep Barkmeta / Bark and Shibo’s software-first habit in mind when the next dated tag lands: version first, share second. That sequence keeps the pack from pricing the wrong client.

Quick answers

When did Firedancer 1.1.4 ship? Aug. 10, 2026 on GitHub. Who listed it next? The Solana Foundation changelog on Aug. 13. What share does Coira cite for full Firedancer? 11.64% of stake on Aug. 10, via Solana Compass, on 57 of 698 active validators. Is that Frankendancer? No. Full Firedancer is the independent C client; the older ~20% line was the hybrid.

Sunday’s SOL bid sits on top of a quieter majors session. Use the chart for timing and the client map for narrative. Full Firedancer 1.1.4 is live, listed, and still a minority of stake. Price the stack you can name.
