Alpenglow goes live on mainnet-beta next week on Oct 21, around 14:50 UTC. We’ve been running it on the community cluster since Genesis.
See you on the other side. 🌞
Chainflow is at Solana Summit Serbia.
The SGP votes are open while everyone is in the same room. Running a validator and want to talk it through? DMs are open. 🌞
Well done, @SuperteamBLKN 🙌 – at Belgrade, Republic of Serbia
The community validator call is this Thursday, Aug 27 at 12:00 ET two hours earlier than usual (one-time change).
On the agenda: #Breakpoint, #BlockZero, dev and governance updates. It lands mid-vote on SGP-1, 2 and 3. Meeting details here👇hackmd.io/@KFEZk8oMTz6vBlwAD…
SIMD-0249 gave delegators something they didn't have before: time.
Commission changes now take two full epochs to apply. No more instant fee hikes.
The rule only works if you can see it coming, so we built a way to.

Solana's monthly community-led validator call is on Thursday, 14:00 ET.
Fill out the form to get the invite: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
No gatekeeping, anyone can join.
Open floor for questions, this is where a lot of the unglamorous protocol work actually gets discussed.
48 validators found themselves earning zero Jito tips after upgrading to Agave 4.1.0 or 4.1.0-rc.1. Fix: upgrade to 4.1.1.
Also this week: a scheduler claim that switching to Pebble could lift Jito tips ~400% - unverified, but worth testing.

1,000 epochs.
We've been here for all of them, @solana 🌞
ALT A timeline displays "EPOCH 1" to "EPOCH 1000" with the Chainflow logo prominently featured on a black background.
The clearest public guidance yet on validator memory:
- Anza canaries running ~180GB in v4.1, ~130GB in the accounts index
- Firedancer at 351GiB now, targeting under 256GB in weeks
- XDP spike mystery traced to local setup, not Agave.

Before Firedancer, before MEV wars, we were already running bare-metal infra and showing up to governance calls.
Some people ride waves, some people lay the fiber.
