🚀 Validator Monthly | November 2026
Each month, we highlight developments from The Vault’s validator community on Solana.
This month features Snappie, a new snapshot delivery service from @CorvusLabsio and @dedicatednodes.
Restarts should not wait on snapshots. So we built Snappie with @CorvusLabsio: a full Solana mainnet snapshot in 60 seconds, over 100G from Amsterdam.

Snappie is live! Fast Solana mainnet snapshots served from Amsterdam over 100G, a full snapshot in 60 seconds.

LocalShred Lite: the free alternative to Jito ShredStream.
A full Solana shred stream from Amsterdam, open to anyone. No DedicatedNodes server required.
Tuned to the speed Jito ShredStream delivered. Parity, not faster.

Shout out to @dedicatednodes for hooking us up with a monster 9575 server!
0.1ms latency to Jito!
Go grab a VPS in Amerstdam from them for maximum performance from our RPC!
And our FRA dedicatednodes server will be coming in December 2026!

For @DedicatedNodes, performance isn't measured in milliseconds, but in microseconds.
Founder Danny Nieuwenhuis explains how the company built a specialized infrastructure platform for blockchain and trading applications, where latency, routing, peering, and physical proximity to key networks directly impact performance.
As DedicatedNodes continued to push latency lower, NL-ix helped explore routes, interconnections, fiber paths, and peering opportunities to optimize every microsecond.

Did you know LocalShred™ is free to use with every bare metal server?
Benefit from LocalShred™ today with an instant bare metal server: https://t.co/7oAT9OxqMo
Last month, Jito ShredStream in Amsterdam improved by ~4ms.
We had to push LocalShred™ further.
After recent optimizations, LocalShred™ now averages 4–5ms faster than Jito.
Live test from our Amsterdam network:
