1/ SIMD-0385 by @jacobvcreech and @apfitzge introduces Transaction V1, a new format that moves the compute budget config directly into the transaction header. This eliminates compute budget instructions and address lookup tables for faster ingestion. Here's what changes 🧵

During today’s market volatility, the Solana network and the Agave validator client maintained stability under record network load: - 6x peak traffic - Full 60M CU blocks - 100K TPS ingested A major stress test proving Solana’s resilience under extreme demand. Agave handled it

Solana is building a specification with Firedancer. Building a second independent client requires defining all the edge cases. The specification will live in code. That's better than some paper that can't be tested for conformance.
some rant: most traders and even builders, like 80%, maybe 95%, have no clue why decentralization matters. to them it’s just “how many nodes.” they don’t think about governance, decision making, or what happens when a network breaks and nobody’s left who actually understands it.

1/ Solana validators: Agave v2.3.8+ adds XDP to accelerate Turbine block propagation. XDP bypasses parts of the Linux networking stack to cut copies and context switches. This prepares validators for 100M CU blocks and advances IBRL 🧵

Here's our feedback on SIMD-0326 Alpenglow: We strongly support moving forward with Alpenglow and will vote "Yes" in the upcoming vote. However a future Solana engineer browsing the SIMD repository will find little value in this SIMD. Here's a proposal on how to improve: - make

SIMD-341 just dropped. Protocol-level account compression The proposal outlines a way of compressed accounts with a syscall, potentially significantly reducing storage costs The state will have to be preserved offchain for onchain recovery Checkout the full details 👇

1/ The governance process has begun for SIMD-0326: Alpenglow. Alpenglow is a new consensus protocol for Solana, replacing Proof-of-History and TowerBFT. It aims to reduce block finality from 12.8s to 150ms 🧵

1/ Rotor is Solana’s new block propagation protocol introduced in the Alpenglow upgrade. It’s a single layer of relayers that replaces Turbine’s multi-hop, delivering blocks faster and more uniformly across the network 🧵

Solana mindset is the best. Fast blockchains are the default unless you have introduced dumb bugs. Why not fix these bugs and enjoy life at the beach?
I sat down with @alessandrod, the man making the fastest blockchain in existence even faster From his GStreamer roots to working with XDP, he explains how four engineers are out-shipping entire organizations on the @heliuslabs blog:
