Thrilled to have @SolanaFndn sponsor Cyfrin Updraft to deliver industry-leading education to @Solana and Rust developers. Start today with the Rust Programming Basics on Updraft and kickstart your Solana development career.

The Solana community governance process has begun for SIMD 326 - Alpenglow. Alpenglow is a new consensus algorithm that hopes to achieve 150ms finality on proposed blocks.

Solana’s North Star is decentralized Nasdaq. With over $890B traded in H1 2025 alone, every trading venue is racing to win order flow and capture the spread. Here’s how @DFlowProtocol uses LaserStream to offer the best prices, tightest spreads, and lowest latency routes 👇

We're making progress with implementing Solana's new consensus protocol Alpenglow. We also just started the governance process for Alpenglow: First we discuss, then we vote! @anza_xyz @solana @DiscoKobi @qkniep

The team has been working very hard on getting this out the door. Come give us feedback before we launch!

Solana devs: help us break Kora and make it better. Kora eliminates the SOL requirement for Solana transactions, so your users can pay with any token. Fee abstraction for Solana via JSON-RPC + SDK. Try it, file an issue, share all feedback below 👇

Got an idea? build it on @Solana with just a prompt Noah AI is LIVE! You can now build dApps by just chatting with AI --> Full Solana Programs + frontend functionality 🙌 Replit/Lovable for crypto? Here's what you can build 🧵

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 🧵

I merged some PRs into Solana Alpenglow for fun! 🏎️🌬️ After reading @bw_solana tweet about @anza_xyz's Alpenglow implementation already handling 20k tps of synthetic traffic, and a chat with @seminuked, I decided to try contributing! Love the incredibly well structured whitepaper by @qkniep, Jakub Sliwinski, and @TheWattenhofer. Reminded me of my first year math courses!

BAM is live on testnet We’ve rolled out with an initial set of validators! This is the first step toward bringing private, verifiable block building to Solana. 🌐 Open testnet → coming soon 🔥 Mainnet → right after Get involved 👇
