Solana is the most battle-tested network.
Each stress test on Solana has been met with major improvements by the core engineering teams and further improved the network resiliency time over time.
Solana's resiliency isn't just about surviving the worst days, but also making ambition for a better future possible.

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. 💜

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.

excited to open source Microscope
if someone touches your program in a way they shouldn't you want to know in seconds. not from a user dm the next morning
one command runs the whole stack. it watches your program and the multisig that can upgrade it
repo's in the thread, START MONITORING.
The @SolanaFndn just open-sourced Microscope, a free monitoring & alerting tool for Solana programs.
We've tested it out. Its skills map alerts to our STRIDE security framework so the responding team has context to start from during an incident.

AI makes writing tests easier. But a lot of tests end up being just slop, so we wrote a guide on how to write better tests for Solana programs:
"All tests passing ✅" is the most dangerous sentence in Solana development.
We audited 100+ programs. Here is the test suite that actually catches bugs 👇

Once again, Solana just got faster
250ms slots are now live on Solana
See you at 200ms

250ms slots activation now pending on mainnet-beta.
400 → 350 → 300 → 250ms
Reminder, SIMD-0525 features take effect one epoch after they activate thus will go live at the epoch 1037 boundary ~05:01 UTC, Friday Sept 18.
- epoch 1035: pending activation
- epoch 1036: feature active
- epoch 1037: 250ms slots live
1 more step to 200ms.

pls for the love of god
set maxSupportedTransactionVersion=1
i can only send out so many emails
Transaction V1 (SIMD-0385) is live on mainnet-beta.
Max transaction size grows from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes. ZK proofs, large multisigs, BLS signatures, and confidential transfers that required multiple transactions now fit in one atomic operation.
V1 also moves resource requests (compute unit limit, priority fee, loaded accounts data size, heap size) into the transaction header instead of compute budget instructions.

You can now make larger transactions on Solana
ZK, more complex routing, and more is now possible
The design space just got bigger for all apps on Solana

We finally launched Hackathons Solana! 💚
Hackathons are one of the best ways to bring talented builders and great products to Solana
But Foundation shouldn't have to be the gatekeeper for every official Solana hackathon
So we built a product for the community to run them!
- Propose hackathon themes
- Vote on the best themes
- Sponsor hackathons
- Submit and win prizes
- Climb the leaderboard
The goal: always have a Solana hackathon to build in, with the community deciding what comes next 💜
