Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
solana's speed still amazes me
this is a basic demo of helius enhanced websockets detecting a txn in literal milliseconds (before even the wallet itself can animate)
it is crazy to have this low latency on a distributed system with thousands of global nodes

ASR is not going to be affected from this vote
we are not done yet
you saw our massive historical data release yesterday
but it would not be complete without an app that actually lets you use it
a solana time machine perhaps
trillions
out soon
today, Solana changes forever
we've solved the biggest data/RPC problem that exists
solana historical/archival data — has now been redesigned
quick context:
today when you query historical data (getBlock/getTransaction/getSignaturesForAddress), it hits Google BigTable
this is i) slow, ii) expensive, iii) inflexible for queries
e.g., you physically can not get the first tx for a Solana address without looping back endlessly from the latest tx
for busy addresses, this can take thousands of RPC calls — extremely slow, expensive, and annoying
also, imagine you wanted to get the most recent 100 txs for an address, how do you do it?
you first hit getSignaturesForAddress to get all the tx signatures and then call getTransaction on each tx to get its details — this can take 1,001 RPC calls in the worst case
not anymore
we have built a new distributed archival storage system that is 1,000x faster, more flexible, and more scalable
the best part? we're introducing a new API method:
getTransactionsForAddress
with this method, you can now:
i) combine getSignaturesForAddress and getTransaction calls into just 1 call instead of 1,000
ii) you can search in reverse order without needing to traverse
iii) you can search historical transactions by time and slot ranges (e.g. get me all the txns from January 5th, 2025 until February 5th, 2025)
what's more:
- getBlock calls are now 10x faster
- getTransaction calls are now 10x faster
- getSignaturesForAddress calls are now 10x faster
10x lower latency, 100x fewer RPC calls, and 1000x less code
enjoy!
