Solana's major drop in finality time today

Brought to you by Alpenglow

[mert @mert]

biggest upgrade in solana history today

[Anza @anza_xyz]

Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉

Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza.

Why this is important 🧵

@listendotmoney nice

[Ichigo | helius.dev @0xIchigo]

reading from a key-value store sounds easy: give a key, get a value

writes are cheap in an LSM tree, as the work gets deferred

reads pay the bill: your key might be in the memtable, an L0 file, or any level below

we trace how RocksDB finds your key, only on the @helius blog

Know your rights.

@solana is becoming the home of tokenized stocks, and Orb is built to help you navigate them.

One stock can have many versions. See what each one represents, what rights it gives you, and how redemption works.

Preconfs are now live for all paid plans

Use preconfSubscribe to stream the earliest onchain signals and see Solana transactions before they're shredded

We also added 4 new filters: source (Helius/BAM), signer (include/exclude), signatures, and instructions

Have fun

[Helius @Helius]

NEW: Preconfirmations

See transactions the moment a validator commits to executing them

That's 5-50 milliseconds BEFORE transactions are turned into shreds, and the earliest a tx can be observed on Solana

All delivered via one new WebSocket subscription: preconfSubscribe

[mert @mert]

while our competitors obsess over us, we choose to obsess over customers

in addition to helius launchpad, superteam members now get even more free infra and personal startup help from me

there is no better chain to build your business than on solana

Build anything you want with @superteam perks from @Helius

[Superteam @superteam]

building on solana just got a little easier 🛠️

we’ve teamed up with @helius to give superteam members access to exclusive developer infrastructure perks.

here’s what’s available ↓

[nick | helius.dev @nick_pennie]

check out gTFA, too

perfect if you need a no-hassle, plug-n-play backfill:
- stream only what you need
- backfill up to 10m txn/s (~4k blocks/s)
- filter by accounts, ATAs, and/or transfers

both are excellent, depending on your use-case

building on solana is easier than ever

[Ichigo | helius.dev @0xIchigo]

I'm hiring a Developer Advocate for our data platform at @Helius

Someone who:
- is self-directed
- writes well
- has experience with dev tooling
- likes public speaking
- builds demos and isn't camera-shy
- is hip enough for the zoomers and professional enough for the boomers

[Anza @anza_xyz]
