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.

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.

Project Harmonia is open for applications.
Allfunds connects 3,300+ asset managers and financial institutions, with €1.9T in assets under administration. Tokenized funds on Solana can now apply to reach them, and funds on Allfunds become accessible on Solana.
ALT Solana and Allfunds logos in white, separated by a vertical divider, on a dark purple Solana background.

Tokenization solved issuance. Distribution remains the bottleneck.
Project Harmonia's RFP is live. Tokenized fund issuers, distributors and ecosystem participants can now apply to bridge Allfunds' institutional distribution network with @solana's on-chain infrastructure. 🧵

Great episode this week w/@flkrs from @helius. his main message: don't forget how large Solana's dream and vision is.
we truly are creating a new financial internet with dedicated fiber and its own edge network providers. Solana is in a league of its own
New episode of The Stack with @nocircuit
@flkrs from @Helius shares how years of internet-scale networking work shaped the way he thinks about Solana and why low latency, edge architecture and reliability matter so much for the “Internet of Finance.”

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 💜

This is an example of how to do incident response right.
* have proper monitoring in place
* work quickly to identify and patch the issue
* utilize Solana’s SIRN program for assistance
* publicly acknowledge and address the impact as soon as possible
* make affected users whole
Great example to set for the ecosystem and a case study we’ll use to improve the Solana ecosystem’s security posture even more in the future.
Earlier today, Rain’s monitoring systems discovered a vulnerability impacting a small number of programs using an outdated version of our Solana contracts. Other programs were not impacted. Rain immediately launched an investigation to determine the full scope of the situation.
Our team has successfully upgraded all programs that were using the outdated version of the Solana contracts, which has resolved the situation. Rain is continuing to monitor the issue, has engaged third-party forensics experts to investigate, and will work with law enforcement and relevant regulatory authorities.
All affected users will be made whole. We’ve already begun the remediation process and are focused on delivering a swift and responsible resolution.
