Solana's coolest van needs more logos. Grab a spot before it's gone. 🚐⚡

Who's making the next move? 👀
Answered. Both our mainnet nodes are on v4.4.0-rc.1-jito as of today: standby first, then primary. ⚡
🚨 Mainnet-beta validators: we're looking for volunteers to bring 10% of stake to Agave v4.4.0-rc.1 by EOD Friday, Oct 30 per routine upgrade procedure.

Per @Austin_Federa, @doublezero only slightly eases the pain of not colocating. The incentive to colocate stays.
We run our validator from Singapore anyway. Geographic spread doesn't happen by accident. ⚡
Now listed as x402-enabled on solana.com/rpc.
AI agents can pay per request, no account or API key needed. ⚡

Running validators taught us how the chain works. The next six weeks of Q4 Builders is about building on it. Day 1 done. ⚡
Locking in with a new wave of @solana Builders from around the world.
Can’t wait to see what they ship over the next six weeks.
Agave v4.4.0-rc.0 is out, and @bw_solana says it's ready for minor adoption.
Our testnet validator is already on 4.4 beta. Mainnet waits for the matching @jito_sol build, then the standby upgrades first. ⚡
Running Solana infrastructure for builders, and now becoming one. Our founder joins the @solanaturbine Q4 2026 Builders Cohort.
Accepted into the Q4 2026 Builders Cohort at @solanaturbine.
Thirty years as a dentist, three running Solana validators, now learning to build on-chain programs myself. My capstone: an AI trading agent on a leash, with on-chain limits it can't break.
Let's build.
Our validator runs out of Singapore on DoubleZero.
SIN↔TYO at 65.8 ms vs 144.9 ms on the public internet means blocks reach us sooner. Alpenglow's slot timers don't wait for slow links. ⚡
Fiber Friday.
Links on DoubleZero are 21.3% faster on average over the public internet.
This week's top performing link: SIN <> TYO, with an RTT time of 65.8 ms compared to 144.9 ms on the public internet.
That's a 54.6% RTT improvement thanks to dedicated fiber.
Slow is a choice, just use DoubleZero.
48 hours on Alpenglow, measured from our own nodes.
⏱️ Validators finalize in ~150 ms. From our RPC nodes in Chicago and LA, blocks show finalized ~240 ms after they complete
🧱 0 of 381 leader slots skipped in epoch 1064, the first full Alpenglow epoch
Nice work @anza_xyz 🏔️
Reply guy can finally rest. 😆
Votes moved off-chain at the switch, ~60% of TPS gone with them, and finality got faster 🏔️
Our validators crossed slot 459,653,000 and are voting under Alpenglow. Huge work by the Anza team and everyone who shipped this. Congrats @solana 🏔️
We're ready. Epoch 1064 is here. Last stretch of TowerBFT before the switch
See you on the other side 🚀 pumpkinspool.com/watchtower/…
