1/ Today, we’re excited to announce Solana Kit v7, adding two new features:

- @solana/react a first-class React hook layer

- @solana/transaction-introspection a package for turning RPC transaction responses into typed, parsable instructions.

The wait is finally over. Full rules for the Alpenglow bug bounty competition are live. Submissions open on Wednesday (Aug 5th) for a total prize pool of up to 50,000 SOL. Details below:

We’ve been working to make Alpenglow, Solana’s state of the art consensus mechanism, quantum resistant.

Check out our latest blog that explains how we can keep Alpenglow quantum safe without compromising on speed and execution.

happy first solana 100M block to those who celebrate

[Brennan Watt @bw_solana]

STOP IMPROVING PERFORMANCE!!

many ppl have seriously told me this.

“artificial scarcity will increase fees”

we’re not listening.

Solana is not here to make blockspace expensive.

we’re here to eat finance

[Tim Garcia @TimGarcia0]

100M CUs is live on mainnet: https://t.co/ORDHVXAy5f Now go use the extra block space 🚀

[Jacob Creech @jacobvcreech]

Solana now supports 100m CU per block

That means Solana can:
- Execute more trades
- Perform more payments
- Just do more

Every. Block.

Solana just keeps getting better.

[Solana Developers @solana_devs]

Solana blocks are getting 66% bigger.

SIMD-0286 raises the block limit from 60M → 100M compute units.

Mainnet activation is scheduled to go live with epoch 1009 (~14 hours). This is already live on testnet and devnet.

first 🇺🇸 market open w/ increased capacity (100M CUs)

changing the block limit was easy.

keeping slot times (orange line) flat at 400ms took a ton of engineering effort.

next, we slash slot times in half to 200ms

[Brennan Watt @bw_solana]

epoch 1009 forecast: raining blockspace ☔️☔️

[hårkl @harkl_]

We have the best engineers

Insane that all these Solana network upgrades are happening at once in less than a month

[Ilan Gitter @nocircuit]

100% faster slots, 90% cheaper rent, 400% transaction size increase
Solana v4.2

Activating soon.

[Tim Garcia @TimGarcia0]

Validators! Make sure to set your BLS pubkey on chain asap. The VAT feature activation is sometime this week. Also for anyone wondering will the VAT feature activation also enable full alpenglow consensus, please read 👇

[Solana Developers @solana_devs]

Important update for validator operators.

Solana mainnet validators can now register a BLS pubkey, a prerequisite for Alpenglow.

This week, a second feature gate, the Validator Admission Ticket (SIMD-0357), goes live. Once VAT activates, validators without a BLS pubkey stop participating in consensus and stop receiving inflation rewards.

Read more about the update and what you need to do here: https://t.co/f2HznEhBYx

[Anza @anza_xyz]

Alpenglow, Solana's new consensus, is almost here 🗻

Before it hits mainnet, we're running a bug bounty competition later this summer.

Full details soon.

3/ If you build explorers, indexers, or anything that reads confirmed transactions, @solana/transaction-introspection closes the gap between the shape of transaction that an RPC returns and what your program clients can parse.

[Anza @anza_xyz]

Agave v4.1 is now recommended for mainnet validators and sets the stage for an exhilarating v4.2. Introducing prerequisites for:

- Alpenglow
- 100M CU blocks
- 200ms slot times

[0xSol @Sam0xSol]

Just completed the first fully-verified Horizon epoch file (solana epoch 950)

1 TB of transactions + status meta + 9 TB account updates compressed down to 203 GB

Fully seekable by slot, 203k TPS sequential read, ~3M TPS parallel read (jetstreamer-style)

More coming soon 🔥🔥🔥
