Our new metrics dashboard is live at: metrics.trulyhonestwork.io/ Inspired by the work of @maxekaplan in a recent dashboard he shared for @solstrategies , we decided to upgrade our internal dashboards too.

193 nodes on testnet have XDP on now. Retransmit time plummeting. Once we're done, retransmit will settle at ~400 microseconds. We finish testnet, then we do mainnet, then we finally do 100M CUs.

hey validators, lets make solana faster by enabling xdp. xdp improves turbine packet handling by cutting packet overhead, copies and context switches. more shred propagation headroom = better validator performance under load and more room for solana to scale. add: --experimental-poh-pinned-cpu-core <core> \ --experimental-retransmit-xdp-cpu-cores <core> \ --experimental-retransmit-xdp-zero-copy bnxt_en: --experimental-poh-pinned-cpu-core <core> \ --experimental-retransmit-xdp-cpu-cores <core> \ --experimental-retransmit-xdp-interface <physical_interface> \ extend your systemd service: AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_BPF CAP_PERFMON CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_RAW CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_BPF CAP_PERFMON LimitMEMLOCK=2000000000 notes: - dont run poh and xdp on the same physical core - keep poh away from the xdp cores shared L3 / numa domain - validate your actual topology with lscpu -e/hwloc or solanahcl/solanahcl/blob/main/public/topology/ easy rule of thumb: - 7965wx: 24c across 4x ccds -> 6 cores/ccd first ccd: 0–5c, next ccd starts at 6c - 9375f: 32c across 8x ccds -> 4 cores/ccd first ccd: 0–3c, next ccd starts at 4c common xdp-capable drivers: i40e, ixgbe, ice, igc, mlx5_core, mlx4_core, bnxt_en dont use bonded interface with xdp. for broadcom / bnxt_en: dont enable zero-copy. copy mode is the safe path. if you run into "huge page alloc failed", remove the zero-copy flag and set the xdp interface to the physical interface: --experimental-retransmit-xdp-interface <physical_interface> check the ring sizes: it needs to be power of 2 IFACE=$(ip route get 1.1.1.1 | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i ) if($i=="dev") print $(i 1)}') sudo ethtool -g "$IFACE" # if you see values like rx: 511 or tx: 511, thats likely the issue. sudo ethtool -G "$IFACE" rx 512 tx 512 restart and voila, you are not a potato anymore.

DD and @trulyhonestwork treasuries lost about $500 each through $CRT NAV loss luckily had deployed most of our stables last month well handled by the 🥕 team and hope they can bounce back

if you liked agave v3.0 and think v3.1 is amazing, you won't believe v4.0 and v4.1 will be incomprehensible

gm ☕️ happy birthday to the DD community 3 years of defi degenerates 1 year of @trulyhonestwork 750 -> 730 DDs left

is this a solana subtweet

⏳ Early participation matters. In this clip, @trulyhonestwork breaks down how engaging early with The Vault and other stakepools helped them accumulate $V, attract stake, and stay ahead with their validator. Interview hosted by @gaius1337 and @sol_nxxn.

⚖️ Gauges are a key part of long term validator strategy. @Nu_Soldi and Stix from @trulyhonestwork break down how they use gauges as part of their overall approach while continuing to build through market cycles. Clip hosted by @sol_nxxn and @gaius1337.

imagine staking with a validator team that isn't this committed to the game it could never be us

🧭 Weathering the bear market takes resilience and strategy. @Nu_Soldi and Stix from @trulyhonestwork share how their validator is preparing to navigate the downturn and keep building through it — clip hosted by @sol_nxxn, @gaius1337.

gm ☕️ closing out 2025 ✅ more formal buyback strategy announced through @MagicEden AMM ✅ not only did we delegate to some awesome validators through @thevaultfinance but we started our own (@trulyhonestwork) 🟡 @Topo_G and some other sol OGs joined us (@SOLBigBrain when?)

Days like today I wish I had more dry powder to load up on $SOL and delegate to: @DinoStake @ferric @HubraApp @icestaking_ @project_super_ @thelibraryvc @thePLStaking @TheChimpions @TrulyHonestWork @ValigatorTech

Man, independent stakers are the lifeblood of the ecosystem - we show up every day because you support us in whatever way possible Beyond thankful for everyone who cares!

💡 Starting a validator is never easy, but @trulyhonestwork shares how the @kamino Multiply strategy made it possible to take that first step and begin building on Solana — clip hosted by @sol_nxxn and @gaius.

I didn’t want to admit this publicly but, Defi Degens was originally supposed to build @trulyhonestwork on Cardano. The @solana foundation gave us $25M and $25M in liquidity for 6 months of exclusivity with @trulyhonestwork instead.

Successfully BAM pilled 💥 Happy to report that @trulyhonestwork is joining as a new BAM validator!

🎯 Spotlight on @trulyhonestwork sharing expert insights into validator strategy, and delegation growth. Roll the clip to hear their approach in action!

Highlights from last week’s stream with @trulyhonestwork! We broke down the Kamino Multiply strategy - what it is, how it works, and why it could be valuable for you. Catch the recap and see how you can put it to use!

It’s a good day to IBRL @doublezero
