3. Leaders now get paid to include votes. Each landed vote’s inflation reward is split 50/50 with the leader that includes it. Before, leaders could sabotage other validators by excluding votes.
But this has important consequences because the # of leader windows is variable..
This means that a validator's reward APY will now primarily depend on luck.
So I updated app.vx.tools and the Vortex API to help validators and delegators compare reward efficiency more objectively.

Type a prompt. Get a full onchain app on Solana.
Not a frontend with a wallet button bolted on. Wallet auth, smart contracts, security scanning, backend, UI. All from your first prompt.
Think Claude Code, but purpose-built for Solana 🧵👇

Anyone who says that solana has won at anything is a sleeper agent. It’s 100% psyops. There is a mountain of work left to do on all fronts.

Introducing the new Vote Credits Ranking page!
Validator operators can now easily see how their vote credit leaderboard rank has changed over time epoch to epoch!

this is a huge moment in the history of save.
from starting out at a hackathon, to becoming the biggest solana DeFi protocol, to near death from the FTX collapse, to being reborn as save.
now HALF of all SAVE will be burned.

Validator operators! If you have opted into using transaction-view, please revert back to the default (sdk). It exposed a bug elsewhere in the system that can cause your node to crash when leader!

Great to see screenshots of the vortex validator income dashboard in the wild but it needs a lot of work still before it's useful for validators wanting to understand how to improve block revenue. Suggestions welcome!
Why spend time sabotaging other validators when we can just improve our own!
While competitors are making excuses, @temporal_xyz is cooking.
Stake with Temporal.

and a massive shoutout to @ferric for always letting me know when vortex is broken 😅
Just wanna take a break from the shitposting and give a massive shout out to @jstrry for building and running vortex (app.vx.tools) - everyone running a validator who cares deeply about Solana performance would be lost without this. Hats off, and muchas muchas gracias
