Everybody want to know what @solana would do if Alpenglow switch didn’t work…I guess we'll never know.

Alpenglow is live! It's been a crazy grind over the past 20 months bringing this to mainnet.
Huge shoutout to the Anza engineering team, @TheWattenhofer and the research team, the Anza security team, all our auditors and bug bounty participants.
And of course the validator operators who spent countless hours with their own hardware to help us test and bring this to mainnet.
We couldn't have done this without you all! Lets AlpenGO.

We still have a good amount of stake on v4.3.0. Make sure to upgrade to v4.3.2 as soon as possible. See solana.com/upgrades/alpenglo… for my info.
Added a client check to this and the results are less than ideal for activation in less than 2 days.
Validators - it's go time:
- Move to an Agave based client - preferably 4.3.2
- Fund your vote account with at least 0.8 SOL
- Make sure you set your BLS pubkey
If you need help, please reach out to us on the Solana Tech Discord.

SIMD-0525 mission accomplished: 200ms slots are now live on mainnet-beta.
Blocks land twice as often as they did at genesis. An epoch now takes about a day instead of two.
IBRL
Final slot reduction step: 200ms slots activation now pending on mainnet-beta.
400 → 350 → 300 → 250 → 200ms
Reminder, SIMD-0525 features take effect one epoch after they activate. Thus, will go live at the epoch 1053 boundary ~15:00 UTC, Friday Oct 9th.
- epoch 1051: pending activation
- epoch 1052: feature active
- epoch 1053: 200ms slots live
