Anza: Solana will replace the existing SPL Token with P-token, reducing computational overhead by up to 98%.

According to Mars Finance, the Solana core development team Anza stated that the Solana improvement proposal SIMD-0266 was put forward by developer 0x_febo, replacing the current SPL Token with a new generation of “p-token” to achieve no heap memory allocation, zero-copy data access, and maintain backward compatibility. The officials claim that currently about 10% of the block computation units are used for Token instructions, and the p-token can reduce CU usage to very low levels, freeing up nearly 12% of block space to enhance throughput. The new instructions include Batch and Unwrap Lamports, optimizing common DeFi processes; the auditing party Neodyme replayed mainnet transactions and confirmed consistent outputs.
