One year of BAM and couldn't be happier for what we've accomplished. By far the most challenging project we've worked on at Jito; everything between Linux kernel patches, deeply understanding AMD SEV-SNP, systems performance tuning, and scheduler design. From ~2% of stake to ~36%, three major scheduler refactors, almost all Solana propAMMs using maker priority plugin, and two clients. The data on spreads and markets for BAM leader slots is very interesting and hoping to share more on this soon. Even more excited for some of the plugins for Solana traders we're cooking on over the next three months. Job is not finished.
BAM early mainnet is live! Thrilled to announce that as part of mainnet launch, the full BAM validator client has been open-sourced and initial validators are onboarding. • BAM Nodes coming live in 5+ regions • Bug bounty roll out coming soon A new era begins now! 💥

Alpenglow is officially running on testnet ⛰️ The handoff completed at slot 444625255: Alpenglow genesis block formed and TowerBFT is retired.  Testnet now finalizes with Votor and votes have entirely moved off-chain. Devnet is next. Mainnet-beta after our observation period.

Extraordinary additions to the team
I’ve joined @SolanaFndn as Chief Strategy Officer. What excites me is Solana’s position to bring Internet Capital Markets to life: connecting assets, trading and payments on one global network, open to anyone, around the clock. You can already see it happening: $200M in tokenised equities traded in a single day, with roughly 63% outside US market hours. My focus is helping drive the next phase of growth, bringing more institutions, enterprises, builders and users into that opportunity. Thank you to @calilyliu and the team for the warm welcome. Excited to get going. 💜 coindesk.com/business/2026/0…

USDv represents a revolutionary idea that shouldn't be revolutionary: your dollar should be productive by default. This would not be possible without our programmable monetary policy engine: the Solomon Platform. This assures ownership of any asset can be tracked through all contexts (in a wallet, in an LP, looped, etc.) and the economics owed can follow along while abiding by any additional policies and parameters set by the issuer. We are using USDv as an initial showcase of this, but the Platform can be used for any productive asset, from tokenzied stocks that route dividends onchain to reflection tokens and more. A better dollar that makes all of your holdings and positions more productive. A programmable layer that can make any asset productive and any productive asset intelligent.
A dollar that always earns. The final piece in the evolution of money.

Wait so any asset deployed into an asset/USDv pool on Raydium could generate revenue from the yield on USDv reserves? Any graduated memecoin paired with USDv could automatically generate holder revenue if @Raydium routes the yield from the reserves back to LPs, traders, or creators? The fact that $SOLO was trading below NAV for months is mental. @solomon_labs may be the breakout protocol for MetaDAO.
One of the main DEXs on Solana is integrating USDv. @Raydium will commit an initial $1M of its treasury to USDv, the productive stablecoin issued by @solomon_labs. Not only is this the first time a major protocol outside the MetaDAO ecosystem is publicly adopting USDv, but Raydium is also one of the most recognized names in DeFi. And the collaboration goes beyond a treasury allocation. As part of the partnership, Raydium will become the primary home for USDv liquidity, with USDv pairs supported across its markets and launchpad ecosystem. This gives USDv a major distribution channel across Solana while allowing Raydium to direct the yield generated by the reserves backing USDv toward LPs, traders, and new markets. Solana was missing a native productive stablecoin...until now.

This also marks the end of an era. Once Alpenglow is activated on Testnet, operators will no longer be able to run Frankendancer on Testnet. Kudos to @jump_firedancer for the milestone. Frankendancer has had a big impact on the ecosystem 🔥
Alpenglow is coming to testnet this week. 🧵 Testnet exercises the exact migration devnet and mainnet-beta will run. The Alpenglow community cluster rehearsed the migration numerous times and has been running Alpenglow for over 4 months.  Now Alpenglow moves to the formal activation path.
