🚨 Mainnet-beta validators: URGENT UPGRADE to Agave 4.4.1 is recommended or you will be forked off.

It applies a minimum loaded data size to loader-v3 ProgramData accounts. Nodes without the patch are planned to fork off at epoch 1079, Nov 6 at ~13:30 UTC. Upgrade now and monitor your node.

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.
Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉

Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.

Why this is important 🧵

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/alpen… 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
