Analysis These are Ecosystem IQ suggestions drawn from the GitHub records linked under each one. Core teams may already be acting on them.
Oldest: SIMD-0123 Block Revenue Sharing (2024-03-10); SIMD-0298 Add `bank_hash` to block footer. (2024-03-26); SIMD-0204 Slashable event verification (2024-11-26); SIMD-0219 Stricter ABI and Runtime Constraints (2025-01-06). A monthly triage that accepts, merges or withdraws them would make the roadmap easier to read.
In the last 30 days Agave logged at least 500 commits and Firedancer at least 600. Agave's latest release is v4.4.0. Tracking feature parity between the two clients per SIMD would show where the second client lags.
