We have prepared for #Solana Alpenglow migration by contributing to @solstrategies validator HA tool to ensure high validator availability operating on the new consensus protocol.
See release here: github.com/SOL-Strategies/so…
Alpenglow and 150ms finality are coming to #Solana Mainnet on October 21, ~14:50 UTC!

This is your captain speaking.
#Solana has successfully completed acceleration and is comfortably cruising at 1 slot/200ms. Expect finalization speed at 150ms soon!
Thorough Alpenglow cluster testing payed off. Congratulations to Anza and validator fam!
We were participating in #Solana Alpenglow test cluster since its initial genesis through every restart and re-genesis along the way. Proud that our contribution is helping to achieve this significant milestone.
NEAR Intents is the most user friendly, confidential cross-chain transfer/swap solution. No BS, it just works. Give it a try.
#Solana schedule leaders go BRRRrrr...
250ms slots activation now pending on mainnet-beta.
400 → 350 → 300 → 250ms
Reminder, SIMD-0525 features take effect one epoch after they activate thus will go live at the epoch 1037 boundary ~05:01 UTC, Friday Sept 18.
- epoch 1035: pending activation
- epoch 1036: feature active
- epoch 1037: 250ms slots live
1 more step to 200ms.
Congrats to @RealDefinity pool. We are happy to considerably contribute to the decentralisation score.
This is what infrastructure centralisation looks like. All running on the same cloud infrastructure...
And this is why we strive for blockchain validator geographical and administrative decentralisation and resiliency.
One of the great options to stake with Spectrum Staking and support #Solana decentralisation and performance.
Congratulations to @monad team and everybody in the validator fam.
This was a 3-stage upgrade process by validators. Thoroughly tested on testnet 1 month prior to the Mainnet rollout.
All executed seamlessly!
MIP-8 is live today on Monad mainnet! MIP-8 addresses a huge inefficiency in how state is stored in the EVM, by assigning contiguous slots to the same disk page, thus making lookups of multiple contiguous slots MUCH cheaper
Now each chunk of 128 slots only costs one lookup, how it always should have been
Monad is addressing fundamental inefficiencies in the EVM execution layer. This is the first big one since the launch of mainnet, with many more to come
Welcome to #Solana fam!
The best confidential cross-chain/cross-wallet transfers app out there. Give it a try.
Unstake from @Figment_io and support smaller validators who care!
In a devastating upset, @Figment_io has decided to vote against SG-0002 - making them the largest validator thus far to vote against.
There are still several other large sized validators who have yet to cast their vote.
Over-ride your validator's vote: governance.solana.com/propos…
@krakenfx has reversed their vote in the last hour. Good job guys!
Shame on @Figment_io, @everstake_pool and @p2p_org
Second best onchain governance out there! ...after $BTC, of course.
Results are in
SGP 0001: The Solana Constitution - PASS
SGP 0002: Double Disinflation - PASS
SGP 0003: Resource and Inclusion Fees - FAIL
There is a lot to clean up with the governance process but it was definitely an exciting and important first set of SGPs. Thank you to @exo_solana @solanaturbine @micaiah_txtx @qtmoses and the NCN operators for all of the hard work.
