Slots are running faster, Alpenglow is tracking earlier.
🚨 Alpenglow update: epoch 1064 on mainnet-beta is tracking earlier than our estimate. Slots are running faster than projected, which pulls the epoch boundary forward. We’ll share an updated countdown time tomorrow morning once more data is in. Here is why timing moves. 🧵

Crucible, @asymmetric_re's Solana program fuzzer, is already hard at work.
For its first 6 weeks on mainnet, Solana's governance program had a bug: any validator could silently erase its delegators' dissenting votes. Without the fix, SGP-0002 would have failed by 0.02 percentage points. We found it with Crucible. Full writeup ↓

SIMD-0675 proposes a geo-aware leader schedule. Read the full analysis from @MostlyData_ 👇
Random leader schedule leaves handoff latency on the table. That's an inefficiency. SIMD-0675 provides a clever way of reordering it so nearby validators hand off to each other. But the outcome is parameter dependent. We don't want parameters to be a guess. Our recent analysis provides a way to quantify what happens when you change these parameters. You can now measure: - handoff gain vs geographic persistence - short-term regional concentration - spillover for low-stake regions - how much a fake location attack pays
