National STEM day so it's physics time! Light in fiber does about 200,000 km a second, roughly 5 microseconds per km. Nobody's speeding up glass, so desks pay for shorter cable.
This week we show you the machine. In our own leader slots the strategy and validator share the hardware.

Honest question for the Solana traders here: where's your bot running right now?
Cloud region, rented box near a big validator, a server under the desk, a laptop that never sleeps? No judgement.
We're trying to get a feel for how far most strategies sit from the block.

Two weeks of Alpenglow on mainnet.
The handoff from towerbft took about 900ms. 446 of 654 validators signed the genesis certificate. Votes stopped being transactions, tx counts dropped and nothing broke.
Clean one. Hats off to @anza_xyz and every operator who upgraded.

rkuSOL just broke into the top 10 on @sanctumso
Every rkuSOL is staked to the Raiku validator, the one building blocks for co-located execution on Solana. Thanks to everyone who's staked so far.

Exchanges sold co-location for decades. Solana has no exchange building, because the venue is the validator. @degenroot on what co-location for Solana looks like for an institution 👇

We're throwing it back to 1850. Paul Julius Reuter flies stock prices from Brussels to Aachen with 45 pigeons, hours ahead of the train.
The good bit: he locked subscribers in his office until the birds landed, so everyone got the price at once.
A year later he took the idea to London.
Something happening in London soon?

The scary part of agent trading isn't the decision. It's the retry loop when nobody knows if the first one landed.
Good read from @beincrypto.

ARE AI AGENT PAYMENTS SHOWING REAL BUSINESS DEMAND?
AI agents are being pitched as the next big players in global finance. So how much money are they actually moving?
@francescoweb3 of @castle_labs, @kstellana of @GenLayer and @degenroot of @raikucom respond to our AI Agent und that 6.4M x402 transactions totaled just $119,947 over 35 days, with 90.8% worth less than one cent each.
Most of that spending went on APIs, compute and data.
