Introducing the Solana RPC Working Group Its mission is to advance Solana's open-source RPC stack, making the read layer more accessible for all. Built in the open by @triton_one, @Helius, @JupiterExchange, @anza_xyz, and @SolanaFndn 🧵

.@Solana beat every centralized exchange to market with $SPCX, and didn't experience downtime from the demand like Coinbase and Robinhood. There's no need for an apology blogpost or tweet like Binance or other crypto exchanges because multiple issuers competed to be first to market with as much depth as possible. Some made it and some didn't, but users got choices. That's competition. Decentralization isn't a philosophical touchstone, it's a feature that directly leads to better outcomes for users. Bookmark and RT this in 5 years when Solana powers the majority of global markets.

Solana's read layer 2.0 is now open source: Superbank (history) and Cloudbreak (accounts), marking the end of vendor lock-in for chain access. Querying @solana should feel like calling a real database, so we built exactly that. 🟣Lightning-fast account reads with dynamic indexes from your query patterns 🟣Your own queryable copy of Solana history, with no indexing logic to write 🟣More performant than Agave, while running on commodity hardware Fork it, run it, improve it. It's yours 🌊🧵x.com/solana_devs/status/206…

Over 1 year ago, Arcium acquired its largest Web2 competitor. Inpher: - Raised $25M from JP Morgan and Amazon - Had partnerships with the DoD, EU Commission, and more. - Spent 8 years developing the most performant confidenital AI protocol on the market Very soon, Arcium will unveil a new protocol for confidential AI, built on these foundations.

MPC, FHE and TEEs, broken down on @SteveCleanBrook's Pirates Parley🌊

Pirates Parley: Episode 19 x.com/i/broadcasts/1RJZzzqlj…

This Wednesday on Pirates Parley, the top three questions win $50 in RPC credit. @SteveCleanBrook is joined by Nico, Arcium's CTO, to talk privacy, encryption and multi-party computation. Live at 3 PM UTC, here on X and on YouTube.

100M CU blocks need @solana validators relaying shreds faster than they do today. XDP is how they get there: it speeds up Turbine's outbound propagation 750x, ensuring every block reaches the whole cluster before the next slot starts. We moved our entire fleet to XDP, and to help other operators get there, we upstreamed two patches to @anza_xyz's Agave, removing common adoption blockers: → VLAN tagging in userspace for segmented datacenter networks. Operators who split traffic across VLANs can now turn on XDP without the switch dropping their shreds → Multicast MAC derivation unlocks multicast retransmit on XDP for group sends. Useful on @DoubleZero and anywhere per-peer duplication isn't viable If there's a validator you'd like to see on XDP, tag them below👇
