.@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.

Less than an hour after the SpaceX IPO, Phoenix Perps have over $500k of liquidity within $1. Solana perps have arrived

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👇

working on making transaction execution never pagefault in agave 4.2 in this branch oracle updates are basically free, fastest in this profiled block was 9us but it aborted. fastest successful 17us (humidifi) on avg all the top propAMMs are below 30us we're getting pretty good at this

Early signs @jito_sol's BAM is changing oracle-update scheduling. Not a perfect measure, but we bucket each oracle update by where it lands in the block, then measure how far each builder is from a perfectly even distribution. BAM’s May slots show the lowest “uniformity gap” in this data set. If makers can refresh quotes more predictably, they should face less stale-quote/adverse-selection risk. For SOL-USDC that could mean deeper liquidity at larger clip sizes; for thinner pairs, it could lower the spread cushion makers need before supporting the market on @solana.

I’m very happy with our architecture for cross chain deposits. We abstracted away the deposit problem by building a single-purpose smart contract wallet (PDA). This unlocks general onboarding by hijacking a well-established existing interface. And it is 100% noncustodial!

24/5...ish

Most Solana teams optimize RPC. We decided to remove it. At @brewlabshq_ , our latency requirements pushed us beyond Yellowstone and toward consuming validator data directly from the source. Today we're open-sourcing part of that work: Qlaster — Shared-Memory Data Streaming for Colocated Solana Services.🧵

For half a decade, solana/web3.js has been how developers, apps and users interact with Solana. Today, we're giving it the upgrade it always deserved: Web3.js 3.0. A package with the API you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on Kit.

qedsvm is now open sourced, you can prove what the machine runs directly full SVM ISA is implemented/specified in lean, this means you can take an .so and prove that it implements your spec p-token's transfer path is proven spec to binary

Drop in avg CU, no dramatic uptick is tx rate at this time

Of 21 SOL/USDC trades on SOL, 1 had a worse fill compared to Binance (-0.20 bps) Solana is the best place to trade spot in crypto. Soon JTX will prove that

a few months ago, debugging BAM meant wrangling grafana, influx, and one-off clickhouse queries. this is what debugging BAM looks like now. 99% vibe coded internal explorer, every block and batch inspectable down to the microsecond. team is unreal.
